Neither do I, M$ is crap. An online question that was obviously microsoft based annoys me. It was something like.
"What type of program enables you to edit images without affecting images in background"
a)Paint program
b)Drawing program
c)Filtering program
d)Animation program

It depends on what the farking application is. Not all drawing programs are the same. That's the only sort of question I'd lose marks on.
Yeah I know. And, I don't use Microsoft office; I use Pages and Quark and Photoshop. By the way, what was the answer to the above question? A Paint program with layers? I.e. Photoshop? I hate Microsoft, and I also hate their new (ugly) "iPod Killer" Zune. What the heck is Zune?

The answer was drawing program. I was thinking animation program because macromedia flash has layers. 'Filtering program' 'filters' layers? You could argue that they are all correct. :(
Zune is a horrible, horrible attempt at an iPod. They copied the wheel and uglified it.

Ahahaha.

"Dearest Miss Jachie,

This result appears to indicate that you are computer incompetent.

...

Regards, BS."


Whoops, typo. I meant BOS, of course.

So you don't get a percentage either? :(
So basically I'm 'equal' with everyone who got 51%

I just did it, well on Thursday. It was great. Great at being pathetic and predictable. The "test" was loosely based on specimen samples. Most of the answers were logic based. The BOS should invest their money into different areas. They also plugged two companies into the test; QANTAS and eBay (as seen in the email questions).

Hey, I've just completed the computing studies online exam. It was alright - common sense stuff. What did everyone else think? Do we all get the same test? How come people have different days to do it?
A BLOODY WASTE OF TIME! XDDDD
