Hello World:

I have noticed that sometimes when I am running the Sims in Becker’s PassMaster SW, I may want to say more than the computer’s input column will allow to explain my thought, or I may be having a problem getting the computer to cooperate with my thinking, or… what’s worst of all is the computer might autocalculating something I know is wrong because I missed a component of a sum, and so I end up getting two things wrong instead of just one…

Is there any way to notify the reviewers of any discrepancies or problems one might be having during a test? This would seem fair, but I havent seen any way of doing as such.

Thanks,

wm

Who? Becker?

That's not what I mean…

I mean, suppose I am in the actual test, and I can't get the computer to do something like I want…

I test this Wednesday, BTW… and I've never tested before, so I'm trying to cover all my bases as best I can…

Which part are you testing for this week? There really is no place to explain anything. Most exams have a short survey at the end of the exam but you can't really explain or point to a certain question and expect to pick up points that way. Also, you will need to be very aware of your time management.

On the real exam just as in Becker, if you have a drop down menu, that is it. You can't add anything. If you are worried about computational questions, use the calculator instead of putting in a formula.

The only place(or so we are told) that an exam gets actual human grading is in BEC due to the written communication.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes!!

There are a couple of problems in Becker, like when they have you fill in a tax form, where it autocalculates an answer. It stinks because you know you missed something, but you cant say what, although you know your sum will be off. So, it's like, if you miss one, then it would actually seem to count for two off. However, if you could tell them, then I thought it might help. But I guess not from what you say…

There are also some problems where you have to type an answer into a column. In Becker's answer sheets, they type out long verbal answers in their columns to explain the answer, but I haven't been able to get mine to input anything more than numbers. So it seemed like something's missing…
