BrainBench

It's been years since I've played with BrainBench, but since I'm moving to a new fishing pond, it's time to prove myself all over again. We used to all sit back and compete back in the days when BrainBench was free. A bunch of us would race on times, highest scores, best percentiles, best rank in state, all that geeky stuff. I at one point or another was even 1099'd from BrainBench for reviewing and helping on some of their exam questions. (By the way don't blame me if you can't pass the JSP one, that was a long time ago) ;-)



So I thought I'd go play with the C# one out of mild curiosity. I passed, but WOW those questions were wicked. Some of them were on obscure things that I'd never seen outside of a book, stuff that I'd never encountered "in the wild." Weird remoting questions, some multithreaded questions, some other questions, none touching ASP.NET, ADO.NET or any databases. I may have to go play with those tests now. But the C# one was free, so I figured I'd go rank myself. I can't brag that it was a top score or anything, but it was a decent passing score.

    Blah! I just took the English Vocabulary and PowerPoint 2003 for sh*t's and giggles:) and took the Flash MX2004. I am "the" Flash Master - now where is my cape (or coat:) All that is old skool.

    I guess I should do Managing People (U.K.). That ought to be rubbish:)

    I need to play with some more of the free tests again. Maybe tonight I'll dig in and get my "Typing Test" done, heh heh!

    Gratz on the Flash Master! I miss Flash...been programming so much I haven't been able to play :/
