The questions were mainly on language features and syntax. No question regarding design and/or applications. The results revealed that I was weak on C++ data types. I expected myself to rate higher than what I got. Time for me to hit the books, other C++ language reference materials and go back to the basics.
Reminder to myself, before taking tests:
- Study, study, study!
- Be prepared. Have (online) reference materials ready when you are taking the test and be very familiar with it - to easily search for answers for particular topic.
- Better yet, have a instance of your *favorite* c++ compiler ready - to compile the some of the given code snippets.
- Use the 3 minute alloted time per question wisely. Don't be quick to click the next question button.
- Take a practice test form the BB site. Some of them are available for free. Practice makes perfect.
