Hey
This has been the fastest moving thread I've seen on here for a while!
Anyway:
a) Scores matter especially on the math test. Interviewers don't always get the scores beforehand so it won't influence the interview.
b) You need to pass every part of the process so a good score won't cover for a failed interview but it may make up for a marginal pass.
c) Many hiring managers look at the math test as the only truly objective part of the process. Most will want to see the scores before hiring.
d) For the other tests hiring managers rarely understand the test well enough to pay much attention to the results beyond pass / fail.
e) My sense for hiring is that once you are "in" and have secured an offer you don't need to do the reapply thing until you've fully fallen out of the process. We've hired people in our group that have passed on other group's offers. I would chat with your recruiter and understand if he thinks you can get the job you are looking for. If you passed on a PM role because you want to be an analyst - you may not qualify for an analyst role, and vice versa.
Hope that helps - I appreciate your enthusiasm
Tito

A few more questions about the test:
1) What does that long behavioral test tell them anyway? I noticed that the test kinda measured if you were prone to exaggerating (e.g. it would ask the same questions in a slightly different format after say 20 question to check for consistency) What else does it measure?
Does anyone ever flunk the behavioral test?
Secondly, (I don't know if this can be shared) but what % fo people fail the math test? (is it 50%, 60%, etc?)
Just curious. Wanted to figure out how stringent the testing was.
Thank you.
