So, first off since I forgot to update, I passed level 2 of the J-Ken Practical Information test (no shock there; it was bleedingly easy).

In February 2008 I took the J-Ken Systems Information exam, which is actually 3 separate exams that make up one certification. I thought I was only going to pass the programming skills portion, but I actually passed the fundamental skills one as well. The only one I failed was the systems design, which I thought I didn’t have a prayer of passing.

Except… except… I failed by one point. ONE. POINT. Passing was 65/100 and I got 64. ONE QUESTION AND I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO TAKE THIS BLOODY TEST AGAIN. At least the only one I have to take next time is the systems design one; that’s one feature of the J-ken I really, really like. Passing one exam rolls it over to the next try, so you only have to keep bashing your head against the wall retaking the tests you haven’t passed.

I’ll see you in the fall, systems design exam!
