Quick answer: Turing's vetting for developers has four steps: set up your profile and resume, a work-experience survey (57 multiple-choice questions, 60 minutes allowed), tech-stack tests (multiple choice, 45 to 120 minutes), and a live coding challenge. If you fail a test, Turing allows a retake after three months. This comes from Turing's preparation article, dated 20 February 2024 and checked on 8 November 2026; Turing's help-centre pages on vetting were no longer available, so confirm details in your dashboard.
The four steps
1. Profile and resume: list your stack, years of experience and real projects. Matching uses this, so be specific.
2. Work-experience survey: 57 multiple-choice questions about how you have worked; Turing estimates 20 to 30 minutes and allows 60. It needs no preparation, and Turing asks you to answer honestly.
3. Tech-stack tests: multiple-choice tests for each technology you claim, each with four options and sometimes more than one correct answer, taking 45 to 120 minutes.
4. Live coding challenge: a real-time coding test; Turing points to practice on sites such as Codility, HackerRank and LeetCode.
How to prepare
1. Only claim technologies you use; each one triggers a test, and weak scores on extras do not help.
2. For tech-stack tests, review language features, standard library behaviour and common framework concepts, and read every option, since some questions have several right answers.
3. For the coding challenge, practise timed easy and medium problems and explain your approach before coding.
4. Note that third-party reports say Turing has shifted much of its work toward AI training projects, so check which track your application is for.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Turing vetting steps?
Profile and resume, a 57-question work-experience survey, multiple-choice tech-stack tests, and a live coding challenge, according to Turing's 2024 preparation article.
How long are Turing tech-stack tests?
Turing says they take between 45 and 120 minutes, with four options per question and sometimes more than one correct answer.
Can I retake a Turing test?
Turing says developers can retake a test three months after an unsuccessful attempt.
Is the Turing survey graded?
It is a multiple-choice survey about your work experience. Turing says it needs no preparation and asks you to answer honestly.
