A potential employer requires me to take an online aptitude test before my interview (in this case the test is for C, from Previsor). Where can I take the same (or similar) test so I have a rough idea on what I should brush up on?

I've taken a similar test for C++ previously, so I have some idea of what to expect. I've also been studying my C books thoroughly (especially the required material as described in the PDF), but I feel it would be a good idea to get a feel for the particular test before taking it.

I did a quick search on Brainbench, but they don't seem to have a C test, unless I'm mistaken (only C++).

Note: I'm happy to pay to take a test if no decent free ones are available.

A: 

It is not much, but Eddie's Basic Guide to C Programming has a few quizzes; and at the very least, you can go through the C Programming Tutorials that are available there. Over 50 topics are freely available.

Why the down-vote? Admittedly somewhat off topic (as the OP is seeking true online tests/exams), this answer seems to be somewhat helpful, or for the least neutral...

@mjv Thanks. You're right I think. Although, I have done a couple of the quizzes on that site, and they seemed a little easy. I need something that's really *really* hard, as I'm sure the Previsor test will be full of trick questions and missing semi-colons! :)

Also, I seem to always get 14 out of 15 on those quizzes, and it still says "hard luck" ;) -- also, more importantly, it never tells me *what* I got wrong.

+2  A: 

For some reason when you search for C on the Brainbench site, it does not show their C test; but when I searched for brainbench c test on Google, it found it.

Brainbench offers good list of Programming Exams.
