Done And Dusted

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 19th, 2009 | 0 Comments

Today I had my exam in Databases, it went fairly well, I knew it would not be too dificult because I find the subject interesting and it is not too hard to grasp. The only problem with the exam today was that there was not enough time to finish the amount of questions that were given, we were given an hour to complete twenty questions, it may seem like a lot of time but it was not.

I knew how to do the questions but trying to get them all done in that time frame was a bit of a challange, I reckon if I had ten more minutes then I would of been fine, I would of managed to get all the questions answered, and be happy about it. I managed to get 17 out of the 20 questions finished so I reckon that I will pass, I expect to at least get into or above the 60% mark. I dont like to guess usually what result I might get, I like to put it out of my mind until the day comes where I get my result, then I can worry about it again if I need to.

Exam Tomorrow

Tomorrow I have an exam in Database Programming, this involves creating tables and updating, etc. We are currently learning the basics of SQL and I think it is interesting enough. Since I started this class this semester I have become more familiar with how to view information in my database.

Not that I would be editing much at the moment in SQL, however in the future it will be a great resource to have for when I make a website. I think in my third year (Next Year) it will be required to be used when making our final project, which will be to create a website, using all the skills and knowledge we have learned over the years in the course.

In tomorrows exam however I am not too worried, I am confident that I will be able to pass it, and as an added bonus the exam will be open book so I can bring all my notes in with me. When I am at home I use XAMPP to practice using SQL, with XAMPP it allows you to do many things such as install sites offline, it is basically a server on your pc, I made a post last year about how to set up XAMPP, check it out here to find out how.
