Very often, but I think it depends on what you think you've been tested on. Often, the test is somewhat different than it may appear.
For instance, you may be asked to write a short program to solve some example problem. That problem may be entirely unrelated to the sort of work you'll do in the position, but the point of the exercise isn't to find out if you know how to solve that particular problem, it's to get an insight into your approach to problem-solving and development more generally.
