Hi Rich, How did the exam go ? I did the core exam today (passed;-).
I found that the exam is hard (but fair) for beginners. I can only suggest for anybody thinking about taking the exam to have a look at some of the below topics: LEFT and RIGHT JOIN Converting nested queries /subselects Case sensitivity converting column types (f.e BIG INT to INT) Client server model general restrictions (SW/HW) GROUP BY/ORDER BY/HAVING You should be able to convert between LEFT and RIGHT JOINS. Bear in mind that this list is anything than complete; Make sure you 'know' the stuff in your sleep. During the exam you will not have a lot of time to make guess work (70 questions in 90 minutes). Its a lot to read, a lot to think and only a bit to click ;-). Make sure you put the crosses at the right places ;-) My summary: Nice, but not easy skill test. The best thing is also when you can have an AHA effect during the test through the way the questions are asked. Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo/Japan PS: Now, let's get ready for the professional certificate ;-) 2003年 6月 10日 火曜日 19:03、rich johnson さんは書きました: > Has anyone else tried this? I got 8/10.
