Take-home assignment
A take-home assignment is a work sample that a candidate completes on their own time and submits for review, such as a small coding project, analysis, or written exercise.
Confirm the time expected and the rules on outside help. Submit something small, working and well explained rather than something large and unfinished, and write a short note on your assumptions and trade-offs.
