Good resources for programming tests for self-assessment?

Hi everyone, first off I am not a fresh graduate, I've been working as a gameplay programmer for about 2 years now.

I had just resigned from my company that I had been working for 1 year and 8 months. I had started to disagree with the way the company was doing certain things and after a few months of deliberation I decided to resign.

Anyways back to my problem at hand, in the time that I was working for my company I'm afraid that I've kinda devolved into a "scripter" rather then a full pledged programmer. I had been using the Unity engine and I was predominantly involved with implementing combat AI and character skills. This meant all the code that I was witting were just scripts albeit in c#.

Right now I want to aim for a spot in a bigger more established company like Ubisoft. However I'm pretty sure if I were to take an interview test from Ubisoft with the way I am right now, I would probably fail miserably.

So I've decided to spend some time revising my programming basics and re-acquainting myself with c++ and other programming related subjects. However I believe the fastest and surest way to expose all of my shortcomings is to simply take a test. A good hard programming test that I can use for self-assessment.

If anyone knows off any good resources/tests that I can use for self-assessment please do share, I would greatly appreciate it.

It is actually a website for employers to use to wattle down job applications. so this tends to be good for a practice for an interview, or just to see how good you are. Although the tests don't tell you where you went wrong you do get lots of information about your program (such as complexity) as a percentage.

here are their lessons:
