Hi everyone. I have a project that I was going to hire an individual to create, but decided that I'd push it to the community (all of you) instead. I still do need one person who is preferably a Microsoft MVP to help pull this together (PM or email me if interested), but otherwise, I was going to use this thread to garner the info.
What's the plan?
I want to create a new Tech IQ based on the subject line. This will be a set of multiple choice questions that test someone's knowledge of Visual Basic.NET 2012. Some of these questions should start easy to test basic concepts and then we'll include harder questions too. In the end, the person will be scored. The scores can be given 3 results. For example, if we end up with 30 questions, A score of 29-30 would be "Excellent - A true VB expert", a score of 25-28 would be "A Proven VBer", and a score of 24 or less would be a "Fail". Once we have figured out the questions and number of questions, we can then determine what the appropriate breaks are for the three groups.
So what are we doing in this thread?
If you have a question to suggest, then post a response. Include the following:
(1) text: NEW QUESTION or UPDATED (##)
(this is straight text so we know if it is a new or updated question. If an update, add the post number for the question you are updating or commenting on.
(2) Question: < the actual question>
This will be the question and then the answers. Any format can be used for a question and we can include pictures, code snippets, and anything that basic HTML formatting can handle. This is true of the answers too.
(3) CORRECT: This is the answer that is correct. If you label your answers (a), (b), etc. then you can just state which one.
(4) ERROR: This is information about the correct answer. This is the text that displayed when a person answers wrong. It can include any markup, images, code snippets, etc. It should explain a little bit about the right answer and can include information on why the bad answers were wrong.
(5) Difficulty: Include a difficulty rating from 1 to 10, where 1 is easy and 10 is hard.
That's it. For an example, you can go to http://www.codeguru.com/quizzes/
Questions about what we are doing? Post those in this thread too.
