Week 4

Reflection

So this week I decided to look at the gmetrix tests just to see what they focus on for the most part. There are 3 tests to do so I believe I only need to pass 2 of them in testing and then all 3 in training. I got most of the way through the first one and a lot of the questions were using the actual program over written questions, which I find easier. They are pretty straight forward questions and I hope that on the actual certification they are not 90 part questions where I mess 1 thing up and get it wrong. I felt ok going through them because the only problem I ran into was which panel was the right one, but after that I knew what to do. 

Successes

I feel that my success this week was being able to figure out the gmetrix questions pretty quickly. As I said the only thing I would mess up was not being able to find the right panel, but after that I knew what to do. I can usually narrow down what panels to use based on the question, so even if I forget on the tests I should be able to figure it out. 

Obstacles/Problems

This week I didn't really run into any problems except for that the tests do take long sometimes. Since it is my first time taking them I think I should be able to pick up the pace going forward so I don't run out of time.

Thoughts and Feelings

As of right now I think I will get my certification by the end, even if it takes 2 tries. Since the amount of time we work on the project is spread out it helps because of the wait between certifications. Meaning even if I fail once I should have time to study then take it again and pass

Season 2 Week 3

Reflection This week I finished the second testing out of the three for gmetrix. I finished it with a 925 and since I got a 950 on the first one from last week that means I am ready to take the certification test. I think I will be taking it next Friday. Compared to the first test this one only took the one try and I got it all done in class. So that shows me that since i'm taking these a week apart I actually learned them and not just memorized the answers.  Success I would call this week the most success week so far. I passed the second test easily the first time so i'm sure that i've learned the program. I feel that I had a good understanding and none of the questions really caught be off guard and I knew how to do majority of them Obstacles/Problems I did not really run into any problems expect for the 3 question I got wrong. With those 3 questions they were just stupid mistakes that I went back to correct and not stuff I did not know how to do. When I take...

Reflection This week I did my first test for gmetrix and scored an 800 (80%). Considering that on most first test I get a 600-700 and this is a week after all the trainings, I could call that a very good score. Also while doing it I felt like I was going to get a 500-600 but looking back and after doing the review it was fairly easy.  Success With my 800 on my first tests I would call that a good success. Going forward I am very confident that I will be able to certify based on how the trainings and now the first testing went. Like I said on the first tests the usually are 600-700 and go up from their after the second or third test, so I think it will take me 1 or 2 more tests before I get 900. This being considered I think that it will take me the next 2-4 work days to complete the gmetrix side of certifying. After doing all of those I plan on taking the certification as soon as possible. Obstacles/problems Other than a few questions I ran into no problems this we...

Season 2 Week 1

Reflection This week basically consisted of me trying to get used to using premier pro against since it has been like 3 weeks. This was unsurprising to me so I decided to do another training instead of trying to test again and most likely fail. This proved to be a good idea since I did have to use more hints than before but by the end I felt like I remembered most of what I needed to. So going forward I think I am in fine in terms of meeting a deadline for getting my certification. Success I was pretty successful going through the training test with the further going in the more I started remember. By the end I felt like I could go back through and get majority of the questions right without hints. Obstacles/Problems I did not run into any notable issues this week other than the odd question that took my a few tries. Plans for next week Next week I plan on going through and (hopefully) passing 1 of the 3 tests. I am unsure of which one I want to take but it will most...
