You can train and even take the pre-screen for free, I believe. You can retry it every two weeks, I recommend doing that and maybe you will get lucky and get more easy questions and a decent score. If you are applying to this position, they will request that you do the Pre-screen, but if you have already done it, you do not have to do it again.

- Find indices of elements for 2-sum, 3-sum, and 4-sum all in optimal time. 2-sum is easy, but 3-sum and 4-sum should be O(n^2) which is tricky because you need to find indices, not just the elements and there can be duplicate elements. Still don't understand solution to this day - Connect next pointers of all leaf nodes in binary tree. Tricky part is you must do it without extra space so you can't create a queue. I solved using a queue at first and thought solving without extra space was just a followup but I got rejected so seems like you have to do optimal space or else you'll get no hire.
