About the CSS – Basic Knowledge Test
For teams hiring junior developers, gaps in CSS often show up in slow UI work and avoidable layout issues. The Basic CSS section evaluates practical CSS skills for front-end, web, and software engineering roles that need hands-on page styling and responsive design.
Core styling rules:
This area checks whether candidates understand how style rules are applied and which rule takes precedence when several rules affect the same element. It also covers everyday page styling concepts such as spacing, sizing, and layering, helping you identify people who can update existing interfaces with confidence.- Page layout across devices: Candidates are assessed on common layout tasks such as aligning content, building page structure, and adapting screens for different devices. This helps you spot applicants who can work with responsive web design and common layout tools such as Flexbox and CSS Grid.
- Maintainable style code: This area looks at whether candidates understand the basics of organized front-end styling, including common preprocessor concepts such as Sass. It is useful for roles that need developers to read, maintain, and extend shared style code without introducing unnecessary complexity.
