How to Prepare for Samsung

Overview

This Samsung preparation guide is based on public online-test and interview reports - not a made-up study plan.

Some Samsung SDE campus OAs are famous for one very hard problem with full test-case pass requirement rather than a multi-section aptitude paper.

Start with the round that knocks out most people

GFG SDE-I FTE: 3-hour OA with a single hard DP problem (Burst Balloons cited); unlimited compiles but ≤10 submits; must pass all ~50 tests.

Prep tips from student reports

1. For SDE R&D-style OA: practice hard DP/graphs under long contests with full AC requirement
