Mock 3 - the timed written take-home

Make the call on "Which cold-email opener is strongest for an engineering persona at a target account?" Name the clue that decides it.

Step 1 of 3

The take-home is Cursor's first written impression of you and it is graded on personalization, clarity, no-hype framing and a crisp CTA. Set a 45-minute timer, close the AI tab and treat a typo as a rejection.

Pick a real engineering org, find a genuine trigger and choose a named persona. Then write one tight cold email with a single CTA and a short LinkedIn message. The skill being graded is making a complex AI dev tool simple and relevant to an engineer in your own words.
