Just wondering what/ if any exams the peeps here have coming up, whether that be SATs :P, GCSE's, A'Levels, uni... or jus general courses.

Also how hard are you trying not to do any work towards them :D ?

Personally got GCSE's including like 4 German exams, which I dont understand.. in so many ways :cry:

Got a Microsoft Certified Technology Soecialist exam in a month or so, which would give me a full MCTS qualification in .net development, then hopefully to do a MCP exam to upgrade the qualification

Submitted a piece of C coursework today (had to make a stream editor like sed), and got to hand in a group web project tomorrow (I did the PHP side which was great - no faffing around with browser incompatibilities).

In two weeks time I have to submit a piece of Assembler software which enables three wireless nodes we were provided with (based around a Philips micro) to communicate ad-hoc, and then I've got exams (either 3 or 4, not sure yet) next month.

:o

No ICT exams - all coursework to get finished off -OCR Nationals (GCSE)

Got the moderator coming in on Friday to have a look at a sample of his choosing, hopefully he'll be happy with the marks we have given to our students and we can breath again...

I really need to rebook my Solaris Admin exams...They are horribly stupid, questions like "What installation CD does VTS come on", it's all multiple choice, which makes it worse if you don't know what CD is what from 1 to 5...Grrr...

I'll be booking myself another course too in the next month or so...I'm thinking Crash Dump Analysis or System Performance Tuning to compliment the Solaris Internals course I did a month ago...

Finished my my mock GCSEs last week so I haven't got any scores back yet (not that mocks really matter).

Just so I can feel important, I have completed the science 1 module (consisting of modules 1a and 1b). I got straight A*s in Physics, Chemistry and Biology 1a and did the same in 1b. In Physics so far, I average 98%. Sorry, just had to :twisted:

Like Big_D, I took my last exams in 1980. a long time before most of you young 'uns were even a twinkle in Dad's eye.
:shock:

In any case, best of luck to everyone taking exams and stuff. I hope you get the grades you need.

Good luck for all those doing exams.
Last ones I did were in october last year Prince2 and Advanced HACCP.
First proper exams were in 1989. SO I am old compared to most but still a sprightly nipper compared to grandpa Big_D and Grandma HK ;)
