In the words of Bender - ‘Bite my shiny metal ass’
Friday 17th November, 2006 | 2:48 pmSince Apple kindly updated my transcript profile to show the world + it’s wife my failure on the OS X Server exam last week when I know I was more than capable of passing it, re-sat the exam this afternoon. Questions were harder than the first exam, though more direct and clearly-worded, allowing me to score 81% this time and comfortably pass. As for Open Directory which gave me 5 near-identical questions in the first exam when it was clear my first answer was wrong? 9/9 this time, 100%. Also upped account management to 8/11 rather than 4/11 as this time the questions actually gave you sensible options for your answer.
You’d think I’d be more happy with passing, but I’m still a little annoyed at the whole thing, though at least it’s proven to Apple and (more importantly) myself, that I am good enough to pass. Also means I hadn’t completely wasted my time + money in the first place, though the extra exam fee + studying time wasn’t much fun.
Least it gives me another title to add to the resume now - Apple Certified Technical Co-Ordinator
