wannabe Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Why don't we put two fingers up to the maligned official accreditation and have some genuinely difficult but effective tests here on CAD tutor to test ourselves. I'm not asking for accreditation, I'm just thinking, you teach us about CAD - so why not let us infer our CAD knowledge levels through some well thought out, and maybe discipline specific, CAD Tutor CAD Exams. Am I talking rubbish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Its a good idea I suppose - maybe introduce some programming exams too We already have the competitions in the community forums which add some competitiveness to the forums, maybe adding exams to the mix might make the community feel "obliged" to take them... just my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 erm. well, count me out from the start. I'm not saying it's a bad or good idea - but I don't see the point of it from my point view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm not sure of the value such "tests" would have. What would it actually tell the test taker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 if you are on subscription there are on line tests available. I failed the dynamic block one. I should have exited the editor each time I added an action to test it rather than have faith in my ability to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coosbaylumber Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 erm. well, count me out from the start. I'm not saying it's a bad or good idea - but I don't see the point of it from my point view. I think this routine was tried once before. Biggest problem was tha the "testers" used the latest model version of Autocad. Perhaps a version that is not on the market right now. The employer (or future employer) may use an older version if it fits their needs. And thus you are testing upon a version that is not being considered, as the employer does not want to lay out the $$$$ to upgrade. If the employer is using 2002, then why should he convert the whole office and possibly some million dollar machine tools, just to be Modern and fit in. They usually are out for a profit, not to impress anyone. Wm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
