--------------EAAA31A4D66AEA500241E829 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear SQL user, Earlier today we released our 'RDBMS Concepts' test into beta testing. We now just released our web-based 'ANSI SQL' knowledge test. The format for the tests is multiple choice. To take either test, simply go to www.123apply.com and select the link, "Take a beta test". The rest should be self-explanatory. Before taking the test, check out the 'top ten' list to see the best scores to date on our other tests! The top ten lists for these two tests will be released on Monday of next week. Upon completion of the test, you will be scored 1-5 (1-Novice, 2-Beginner, 3-Intermediate, 4-Advanced and 5-Master). The test is actually comprised of two tests of 20 questions each (16 each for the SQL test). That's two chances to make the top ten! Any feedback you can provide us on the quality of the questions and the test itself would be greatly appreciated. You will be given the opportunity to provide feedback on each question as it is administered as well as at the end of the test. The test is delivered in our production environment, so things might seem a little 'strange' prior to taking the test. However, any information you provide will be kept anonymous (unless you make the top ten - we figured the bragging rights would make it worth it!). If you have any problems getting to the site, or have any questions in general, please feel free to contact me. We hope that you enjoy the test and look forward to your feedback! Good luck!
