Hi all,
I am taking the exam on Monday !
Have a question here...
Can I bring a scientific calculator or any calculator that can do base conversions like from base 8 (octal) to base 10 (decimal) and then to base 2 (binary). I think this might come in handy for certain questions. (eg. Dan’s Question 16,
www.danchisholm.net/dec04/comprehensive/exam1.html). Any last minute advice for me ?
Like “look out for public static void main (
String[] args)” violations. Actually I find this quite tiring (and time consuming as... just imagine having to check this for some 60 questions !!!)... sigh...
And... I read a post that advise ppl to do 2 passes on the questions... the 1st pass is to get those easy “ducks” right and the 2nd for more difficult questions. I know this is easy with paper based questions... but what about computer base exams ? Is it that easy to flip here and there ? Is the response time (flipping between pages) short ? How convenient is it ?
Does the exam program provide facilities like a check box for me to click for questions that I want to mark down for further attention ? Eg at the bottom corner of the screen or something.. like the one in Sun’s free sample exam.
And some luck for me ...
Thanks !
