Scores measure performance on these exercises. They are not a firm’s pass threshold or a prediction of an interview or offer.

Public sources and practice adaptations

Da Vinci’s FAQ lists CV submission, assessments, then interviews. Trader applicants take a numerical quiz focused on mental arithmetic and approximation; quant researchers also take programming.

The 20-question, 12-minute numerical section and added Career Match exercise are Outcry settings. The official FAQ does not establish this combined 34-item paper.

Section by section, with a worked example

Every example below is generated by Outcry, drawn from the same generator that section runs during the timed sitting. None of it is Da Vinci Derivatives's own material.

A. Numerical Quiz

20 typed items in 12 minutes. Arithmetic, percentages, quick probability, a little statistics and linear algebra, plus a few market-maker basics. Thirty-six seconds an item.

In this Outcry section: 20 items in 12 minutes, averaging 36 seconds per item. Wrong answers receive no marks and carry no deduction. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

What is 40% of 1,000?

Answer 400

1% of 1,000 is 10, so 40% is 400.

Example 2

420 is split in the ratio 5:2. What is the larger part?

Answer 300

7 parts of 60 each. The larger part is 5 × 60 = 300.

B. Career Match

14 multiple-choice items in 25 minutes. Probability, combinatorics and game theory, which is the reported weighting of this test rather than the numerical quiz's.

In this Outcry section: 14 items in 25 minutes, averaging 107 seconds per item. Wrong answers receive no marks and carry no deduction. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

An edge wins with probability 0.7 at 1 to 1. What fraction of the bankroll does Kelly bet?

Answer 40%

(0.7 × 2 - 1)/1 = 0.4, so 40%. Double Kelly, at 80%, has the same growth rate as betting nothing.

Example 2

On a grid of 5 by 3 unit squares, moving only right or up along the grid lines, how many shortest routes run corner to corner?

Answer 56

Each route is 8 steps with 5 of them right: C(8,5) = 56.
