It's changed since I posted the link, it used to say "we are Legion".

Night before my .Net exam and I'm finally hitting over 70% consistently on practice exams, worst thing is most of the answers I get wrong but just misread, at least I'll have plenty of time in the exam itself, only taking an hour or so to so will have plenty of time in the exam

Best advice anyone every gave me, spend first couple of minutes of the exam yawning and looking around you. Then begin.

It keeps changing. One line that wasn't there before is in the new FAQs: "Anonymouse (note the e) was a joke so we could use an ASCII mouse. We love explaining jokes, they become so much funnier." It wasn't Anonymous - it was Data

I was thinking that. Can't look too good with the invigilators! In paper exams, I've spent the time just before the exam starts to read the bumpf on the front, make sure I check the details are correct, that my pens work etc. Sometimes I strain to see through the front page to see the questions. Now the exams are computer based, it's important you know where the mouse is!

Failed  (563 out of 1000, needed 700) Knew I had a weak area on front end scripting (we rarely use it as it's bad for cross compatibility and screen readers etc).... loads of questions on it

Yeah I can after a while (to stop people taking it repeatedly on the chance they pass), just disappointed really, I was happy with my marks in other areas given that I rarely use any of the tech at work and it was pretty much purely theory

just remember most people on this island are not capable of getting anywhere near that score, and its not a fail btw its a warmup for when you do your second attempt
