Formation.dev - recommended? Any tips or thoughts on it?

Has anyone applied for or gone through this program, Formation.dev ?

Any thoughts on it would be appreciated.

Rahul just recommended it to me as being a good program. I then applied for Formation and I was sent a link to a 45 minute timed test. Eek! I sent them a few questions about it. I'm not sure if this is part of their evaluation of people who apply to their program, as to whether they get accepted or not. I emailed back, asking them that and how competitive it is to get in.

An hour after I applied, one of them sent me a request to set up a 20 minute interview, saying: "I'd love to get 20 mins to learn more about your goals and experience."

It says the following on the first page of the test and it also says to select your preferred language, out of 7 choices. I would probably choose Python 3 or maybe JavaScript. Quiz questions?? I wonder what that means??
