Logic test eh? Hmm, well what about how would you code a program to do the following?;

  1. *************
  2. ***********
  3. ********
  4. *****
  5. **
Or what about Unions and Groupings of Logical pairs?

I think I have some actual questions in a binder at home..I will check and post back!

Do you know anything about the .NET framework? Or any of the languages used in it (C#, VB.NET, C++, ASP.NET[well that's kinda like VB and C#], J#, etc) if you know any of those you should be fine.
Or they could be testing you on what the .NET framework provides and does. It's basically an interpreter for MSIL (Microsoft Intermidiate Language) the CLR (Common Language Runtime) interpretes the MSIL. A plus about the .NET framework is that it's language independant. Someone can write C# code, and access it from C++ or VB. Not something that could have been done before (or as easily as now). It also has an awesome base library.
That's probably the stuff they're going to ask you. But just search microsoft.com for .NET stuff. You'll learn a lot there.

Most companies (at least around here) don't worry about your expertise in any particular language but how you solve problems. Like ProgrammersTalk said, go through a lot of practice problems, and try to always come up with the most efficient solution. Have a good grasp of algorithms and how to measure their efficiency. When it comes down to it, learning a programming language is the easiest part...

What company is it? I had to take a logic test for a company called Atlas development. I got 17 out of 20, at least that is what they said. Apparently if you get 17 out of 20 you are not a good programmer because they didn't want to talk to me anymore.

Personally I think test like this show very little. I do not consider myself a good test taker but everyone I have worked with tells me I am a very good programmer. So this company doesn't want people who are good programmers or are maybe a good fit for the company they just want someone who can do well on a timed test using a strange programming language that they tell you about during the test.
