From my own experience as an applicant for EA organizations, I’d estimate that maybe 50% to 60% of the work sample tests or the tasks that I’ve been assigned have either requested or required that I complete it in one sitting.
And I do think that there is a lot of benefit in limiting the time candidates can spend on it, otherwise we might end up assessing Candidate A’s ten hours of work and Candidate B’s three hours of work. We want to make sure it is a fair evaluation of what each of them can do when we control for as many variables as possible.

The work tests that don’t require a single sitting still do have a max number of hours
