I won't go into great detail, but today I did some exams by way of a little test.
The first were written and practical mock exams in which my pass rate was 99% and 92%
Then I did an online mock exam with a pass rate of 91% and got a print out of my errors. Some of these errors were showing as undefined response, despite the fact that all were answered.
Then I did an online exam (chargeable) with the same company and reached a fail at 72%; the pass level being 75%, but this time no print out or explanation as to exactly where the errors were despite the fact that the questions were a lot easier.
The answers input were by way of mouse pointer, but no indication of whether the mouse was out of range in the areas in question.
I can see a huge failure rate in places that implement this type of testing and also a lot of money being made by the companies that sell them. :facelol:
