JPAL interview questions

Two interviews with team members, an at-home timed skills test (coding, data analysis and interpretation of results), two letters of rec and general JPAL application, a few technical questions re: economics/RCTs and questions about long-term goals

the written test is long - 4.5 hours. It tests your critical thinking and analytical skills. There were two sections and two questions in each section. It is fairly long and each question builds on the previous question. Basic understanding of RCTs is important at this stage. But it really helps if one is familiar with scanning through long academic papers. The ability to figure out keys pieces of information for a policy brief is important.
