Computer Hope Quiz...

[stevejohnson1958]

After all this time...I finally decided to sit down and take CH's quiz.

I have to admit...I tried to go through it as fast as I possibly could...thinking there may have been a time limit...but, boy...was I surprised when I found out there wasn't.

Anyway...thought I'd post my results for those who would like to laugh at my score.

Cheers to the CH Admin...for coming up with a neat little quiz.  Now I have to go back and study the areas where I failed miserably at.

For those of you who'd like a laugh...

I may go and take them myself.
I did start it once, but quite when I answered about 10, I thought there'd be a few hundred or something.
98 is OK though, if I get some time I'll go do it.
N`ot a bad score Steve, I think some of those questions are really hard.

When I look back at the one's I missed...I could hide my head in the dirt...

Don't forget to post your results, Calum...

I wasn't going to, at first, but thought...hey everyone should know...I'm not proud.

Know what I mean?

BTW...good luck!

[Calum]

OK, results attached.

When I look back at the one's I missed...I could hide my head in the dirt...

I know exactly what you mean.
Some of them I clicked and then realised what the answer was, but I didn't cheat.  Of the ones I guessed at, I got only 2 right, which doesn't quite follow the law of averages.

Way to go, Calum!  Nice job!

[Calum]

Thanks.
For anyone wondering, the quiz is here - http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/quiz.pl - in case you can't find it.
For anyone interested, I did cheat afterwards to see what full marks got, and the highest band is Computer Expert, there's nothing above that.

The "What is Unix short for?" question comes up twice.  I don't remember the first instance, but the second was #60.

I dont have the attention span, so, I guess I score 0/98 since I never took it...

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

I tried taking it a few months ago. I was interrupted half way though.

I'll go ahead and sit it again this week.

You're welcome and thank you for the compliments.

The "What is Unix short for?" question comes up twice.  I don't remember the first instance, but the second was #60.

I originally based the quiz off of all previous monthly quizzes that have been posted on Computer Hope over the past few years. I've received a lot of complaints about some of the questions and have been trying to fix what I can.

Example: the XP question that used to say the upcoming version of Windows.

I've updated #60 to something else. Direct link to new #60:

Sometime in the future I plan on revising the code to offer some additional features. Off the top of my head I know the top requested things are:

- Disable the ability to go back and cheat.
- Break the quiz up into categories; e.g. networking, windows, dos, etc.

As always I'm open to suggestions and new quiz questions also if you see any other problems please let me know or send an e-mail to webmasters.

A full listing of all questions without going through the script is also at:

I'd post my results but I've dealt with these questions so many times that I've pretty much got the whole thing memorized so pretty sure it would be 100 without cheating.

Like, a Microsoft Clippy that dances and does backflips with fireworks in the background if you get 89% or higher?
