I took three of the free BrainBench tests a few months ago:

Math Fundamentals   English Vocabulary - Master   Linux Administration (General)

There are a whole heap of free tests available for the next little while; I think (time permitting) I’d like to do:

If only I had a spare 3 days to get through them all! :)

    2. Internet Concepts

    I only scored 3.77 (some of that stuff I’ve not had to remember since university!) but it said I “Scored higher than 85% of all previous test takers.”

    3. Wow, the Project Management test was tough.

    PM

    I only scored 3.66 (some new stuff, some mathematical errors) but the surprising thing is I scored higher than 90% of all previous test takers!!

    Strong Areas: Quality, Cost, Schedule, Contracts. Weak Areas: Risk (which I’ve never really done much of before).

    4. The EDI test was hard – not tough to answer because it asked about stuff I’d not done recently (like the PM test above), but because some of the questions didn’t make sense! Here’s an example:

    A company’s strategic plan has implementation of EDI as one of its major goals for this fiscal year. The feasibility of implementing EDI and to present a report of your findings to the company’s Technology Steering Committee.

    That second part’s not even a sentence!

    Anyway, I scored 3.77, higher than 99% of previous examinees! :)

    5. Score = 3.29; scored higher than 96% of previous examinees.
    It didn’t help that Abby had a mini freak-out (there was another cat outside!) and I missed a couple of questions.

    SQA

    They missed a possible answer to this question:

    When designing a plan for estimating the defective rate of a software population, the sample size depends on which two of the criteria listed above?

    Answer: time & money! ;)
