The first part had multiple choice questions. Most of them were super easy! If I did miss some, I only missed a few.
The second part had me working on a form. At first I did a lot of struggling, because the database was read-only, and when something's in that state, I can't do anything to it. When I explained my problems to the teacher, he said I had to copy the database to the new location. The instructions didn't mention anything 'bout copying, and it took me awhile to figure out how to do that. Once I got going however, things were fine - for a little while. I knew how to create the fields and line them up, and also how to create task buttons. Problems didn't start up again 'til I sent the command to print. I thought only the data I had entered would exit the printer, but the data already in the database started to print too! I had to cancel the print job, which later caused printer problems.
The third part of the test required me to add things to what I had done already. I had to redo the second part though in order to attempt work on the third part. However, I had difficulty doing the additions, and when I looked at my watch, I realized only 3 minutes of class time were left. Not enough time for me to do everything successfully, so I was only able to turn in the first two parts of the test. I'll get partial credit for the handson section. I hope it's enough to have the score for the test to be above failing.
