Dear SCWCDIANs,
Share your experiences about survey before wcd exam, is that survey effects on exam questions ?
as i read in the group about degree of toughness of questions depends upon your selection in particular area ,
is that true ?

I have no idea. I have read conflicting stmts re this. After the exam started, I din't have that much time to analyze the exam.
I just took the survey questions as seriously as the exam questions.
Also, no one here (before I took the exam) mentioned that there is an agreement with 3 questions, that you must say "I agree", atleast for the important one's. Don't be scared by the timer counting down, the foreign characters, and the numbers on the agreements.
Just a suggestion........

I have no idea either.
But my guess is it won't affect the toughness of the following test.
My complain about the test is the agreement. It's written in English and Korean, which made it hard for me to find the radio buttons.
Does anybody know why Sun wrote the agreement in Korean?

Can't believe its true.. can SUN be so stupid as to base the questions based on the answers of the survey?


what a wonderful world!

Adaptive testing is not to be considered as "stupid". It is very well known and is used in the industry. Not sure if Sun uses it or not.
My two cents.
