Nemesis is a bit concerned about public health exams are now taken on the internet. I think she should well be.
This is nothing to do with a serious subject like public health. But I recently was required to take an "e learning " course and at the end take a 20 mins exam covering around 30 questions So I read it through, you could go back and forth through the pages, and then I took the test which, once started, you had to complete. I ran out of time, and it stated that because I hadn't finished I had only got 72% pass and I needed a min of 80%. So failed. Go back and read it all again.
So I did. Took it again, faster, got 73%, failed. I knew where I had gone wrong, one of the questions you had to pick one out of six alternatives. Only one choice was correct. And it was a complicated subject, I read through the lessons a couple of times and I still wasn't sure.
So, to save myself time and hard work, I just took the test, ticked "a", wrong, went back took test again, ticked "b", and again ticked "c" BINGO YOU HAVE REACHED 80% YOU HAVE PASSED.
I might add before anyone gets worried that this was to do with mechanising in the financial world and involved putting up leaflets and posters for maximum effect. Hardly life threatening, but dead complicated. Mike
