After some years applying for different positions, I started asking receuiters about their hiring process and straight out dropping out when there were technical tests like this.
Even when you nail the test, it is no guarantee you won't be just wasting your time.
I explain to the recruiter why I am turning down that opportunity and thank them.
Best jobs I had were mainly via my network of friends, or reaching out to engineers directly asking about their companies and open positions, then sharing CV and GitHub, then chatting about technologies used, bugs in production, and other past experiences.
