Does anyone know if there is way to find out what questions are missed on the certification exams. i just passed with exactly 70% when I thought I may have gotten 100% It would be very helpful to be able to learn from my mistakes .
Hi Tom Meehan,
The company responsible for the test usually sends in the report its percentage of correct answers in each area. Through them it is possible to have an idea of where he went wrong, but the questions even he does not provide.
Thanks for your reply. But not knowing the actual question(s) that were missed makes all the difference. That makes it impossible to point out ambiguities in the wording of the questions or outright contradictions with the official documentation. For example on the test I just took this morning the report said I got 0% of "Native App Generation"question correct. According to the exam overview pdf there was only 2 questions on Native App Generation. The possibility of me missing either, much less both, is virtually nil - unless the wording of the questions were funky. There really needs to be a way to check these things out.
The reason you don't get the actual questions is because those are a secret, you're not supposed to tell anyone about them, and you're not allowed to copy them, etc.
I do realize why they wouldn't want to publish the exams for all to see. And I am certainly not advocating for that. But it is a sticky issue when someone pays to take an exam and has serious doubts about the score but has no opportunity to question the results. The only option is to retake the exam and payout more $$. It don't think that those who take these exams would be likely to put them out on the internet as that would only lesson the value of the very certificates that they are working toward. If they were inclined to do it, they would already be doing it as there are several ways to copy the tests while taking them. I firmly believe those of us putting our trust in the value of Outsystems Certifications are more interested in actually learning the material than scheming was to game the system. I know that that is how I feel. And finally I think it would help improve the quality of the tests if the ambiguities and inconsistencies could be brought to the attention of those who create the test questions. It seems like they would want to know about the issues.
I agree to some point - it would be best if it were possible to somehow comment on questions you gave the wrong answer to, why you chose that answer, but it would be difficult to organize that in a manner that doesn't allow you to pass that information on. Unfortunatly, cheating with exams happens a lot around the world, which is the reason for proctor services and all the measures taken (no phone in sight, special browser for taking the test, and so on).
Hi Tom,
I would suggest you to please take all your concerns directly with Outsystems learning and training department team, since they will help you to resolve all your valid points quickly.
Thanks & Kind Regards,
Sachin
