Is the Ruby On Rails test difficult?

For those who have no knowledge or understanding of the Ruby on Rails framework, the test would be difficult to score well in.

What other skills are required for Ruby On Rails?

As well as a strong knowledge of the framework itself, Ruby on Rails developers would ideally be good at problem-solving, have strong IT skills and be able to use logic to respond to complex challenges or scenarios.

Why is knowledge of Ruby On Rails important?
