Google can be effectively used during coding assessments as a tool for clarifying concepts, syntax, error messages, and logic patterns.
It is advisable to first attempt problems manually, sketch brute-force logic, and then optimize solutions using Google search for keywords related to improvement.
Keeping a toolkit with relevant resources such as C# documentation, LINQ examples, personal snippets, and error fixes can help minimize distractions and enhance productivity.
To use Google ethically, one should avoid blindly copying solutions, spending excessive time on discussions, and searching for the exact problem title to prevent detection.
