This skill test is exclusively designed to evaluate your competence and comfort using R

in data science. The focus is kept on basic yet inevitable data science tasks like data
manipulation, data cleaning, data loading etc. You have 2 hours to complete the task on
hand. Due to time limitations, questions are kept fairly simple yet might make you think
twice.

Considering R has numerous packages and base functions to perform a particular task,
this test will make you familiar with popular ways of performing data science tasks in R.

Total number of questions: 55.
