It's killing you huh? Guess you are a dead man lmao.
Okay, so I show up at the facility, and this place is not that small. I ended up going to the wrong building (14201, I was supposed to be at 14101) and walking in 9ºF weather SUCKS!!! So I find where I'm supposed to go, and there are others already there. They said park next to the oklahoma flag, but the flag that is next to the door is the american flag. Yup, could be a sign of things to come...
So we get called in and told (you can't repeat any of this, blah blah
Upon starting the test, it was pretty simple. You have 50 minutes for 50 questions, which is no secret, I already knew that. She said that we would have a 1 minute warning when the test was about over.
So the test begins and I'm breezing right through it. Most questions are as simple as rubbing two brain cells together and finding the answer. There were 4 however that had me stumped for a minute. I just picked the answer that I "thought" it was, and if I had time, I would go back and double check them. The first was a wiring diagram where you were given 5 wires on the left, a description of what the wires do and do not do cross and so on, and you have to figure out where the wires go. Wasn't sure on this one.
The next ones had an explanation that there were 127 possible connections and each connection could be tested by jumping different sections of the connection. This one had me stumped for a while, then I realized it was binary, and once I realized that, I blew right through it.
Most of the questions were pretty simple if you thought logically. I'm sure people over think it way too much and fail. Once I was done with the test, I went back and checked the 3 or 4 questions that I was not sure of, and found 2 of them were wrong. But I didn't want to spend a lot of time on them since I only had 1 minute per question. But, I was able to go back and fix the errors.
The conclusion,
Qualified
It's a small victory, but still a victory.
It was funny as hell in there though and it took everything I had to keep from laughing. On the wiring question and the binary questions, I could hear people cussing, sighing and moving around lol. I knew exactly where the others were during the test just by the noises that they made.
Remember that one minute warning... Yeah, she comes in after the timer goes off and said "TEST IS OVER, CLOSE YOUR BOOKS" AND 3 or 4 or the people started bitching. I'm sure it was the ones that didn't make it lol. I could care less, I was twirling my pencil for a while by the time that time limit hit.
But in the end, this test is passed. It's only step 1 of the process, but it's one step closer to being away from where I am stuck now.
