Old Mission Quant Screen - Timed Practice

Old Mission-focused quantitative and coding practice. Outcry pairs 25 probability and reasoning questions in 35 minutes with one coding task in 25 minutes. The combined format and timings are practice settings.

Format

2 sections · 26 items · about 60 minutes
Format and scoring below apply to this Outcry mock. See the source check for verified firm details and practice adaptations.
Marking on Quantitative, Coding problem: +1 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.
No going back in this mock. Answer or skip, and the next item loads.
Questions are generated from Outcry's own banks; a retake changes the selection or parameters.

Sections

Quantitative - 25 items, 35 minutes, no negative marking. 25 multiple-choice items in 35 minutes. Probability, expected value, combinatorics, Bayes, sequences, Markov chains and mental arithmetic. No negative marking, so answer everything.
Coding problem - 1 items, 25 minutes, no negative marking. One problem, 25 minutes, on its own clock. Implement the function and run it against the hidden tests.

What this practice sitting covers

2 sections, 26 items and 60 minutes of section time. Each section uses its own clock. Questions are generated from Outcry’s own banks; repeat attempts can share problem types with different selections or parameters.

How this mock is marked

Marking on Quantitative, Coding problem: +1 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.

This mock has no back navigation: each submitted or skipped question is final.

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

No current firm-published specification for this exact 25-question quantitative and one-question coding combination was verified.

The two clocks, question mix, language, navigation and scoring are Outcry settings, not a verified universal Old Mission screen.

Coding in this practice environment

Coding tasks run in Outcry’s JavaScript environment and are checked against supplied hidden cases. Tasks with a stated performance gate also test runtime against a reference implementation. This does not reproduce every employer’s language support, tooling or partial-credit rules.

Read the input, output and constraints, test boundary cases, and review any failed cases afterward. Passing the mock’s tests is practice feedback, not evidence of a particular employer’s assessment result.

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 Old Mission's own material.

A. Quantitative

25 multiple-choice items in 35 minutes. Probability, expected value, combinatorics, Bayes, sequences, Markov chains and mental arithmetic. No negative marking, so answer everything.

In this Outcry section: 25 items in 35 minutes, averaging 84 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

You quote a two-sided market of 63 bid, 72 offer on a contract whose fair value is 67. A counterparty lifts your offer. What is your expected profit on the trade?

Answer 5

Lifting the offer means they bought from you at 72 against a fair value of 67, so you are short at 5 over. The bid side does not enter a trade that happened on the offer.

Example 2

In how many distinct orders can 5 distinct items be arranged in a row?

Answer 120

5 choices for the first slot, 4 for the second, and so on: 5! = 120.

Example 3

A fair coin is flipped until 4 heads appear in a row. What is the expected number of flips?

Answer 30

Let E(j) be the wait from j heads already in hand. E(j) = E(j−1) + 2^j, so the total is 2 + 4 + ... + 2^4 = 30. A run of 4 costs far more than 4 times a single head.

B. Coding problem

One problem, 25 minutes, on its own clock. Implement the function and run it against the hidden tests.

In this Outcry section: 1 items in 25 minutes, averaging 1500 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.
