Hi,

I was quite interested in the thread about writing tests. Two comments in particular caught my eye.

Geoff Hart suggested, "Then pay them for their time. (Honestly... US$25-$50 is trivial.)"

and John Posada asked, "Really? And they do it? Without billing you for creating a deliverable?"

I've never taken a test during an interview, but if I did, I can't imagine asking (or expecting) to be paid for it. Has anyone ever been paid for taking such a test? Is that a common thing?
