My process for coding is something like:

1. Think through the problem.
2. Do a bunch of research.
3. Form a mental plan.
4. Start coding.

It's a lot of prep but the coding tends to go faster because I already know what I want to do and how.

I bring this up because a lot of companies are still fixated on live coding tests. Those heavily favor folks who jump right into code. If your process looks like mine, you probably fail miserably (as I have) though it's not a reflection of your skill.
