Brainbench tests...

Just did yet another Brainbench test the other day, as part of the hunt for a contract job...

Thought it might be interesting to share the results I've had over the time:

<TD colSpan=4><FONT size=2> <TD colSpan=4><FONT size=2>

<FONT size=2>Date	<FONT size=2>Subject	<FONT size=2>Score[1]	<FONT size=2>Percent [2]
<FONT size=2>13/12/2004	<FONT size=2>VB.NET	<FONT size=2>4.31	<FONT size=2>98%
<FONT size=2>09/02/2005	<FONT size=2>MS SQL Server 2000	<FONT size=2>3.87	<FONT size=2>91%
<FONT size=2>09/02/2005	<FONT size=2>ASP 3.0	<FONT size=2>4.60	<FONT size=2>98%
<FONT size=2>09/02/2005	<FONT size=2>Visual Basic 6.0	<FONT size=2>4.34	<FONT size=2>99%
<FONT size=2>09/02/2005	<FONT size=2>XSL	<FONT size=2>3.12	<FONT size=2>77%[3]
<FONT size=2>22/10/2006	<FONT size=2>ASP.NET (Express)	<FONT size=2>3.25	<FONT size=2>56%[4]
<FONT size=2>22/10/2006	<FONT size=2>C# (Express)	<FONT size=2>3.62	<FONT size=2>83%
<FONT size=2>22/10/2006	<FONT size=2>MS SQL Server 2000	<FONT size=2>3.95	<FONT size=2>97%

Maybe I do know what I'm talking about.... Just need to brush up on the ASP.NET - thats the one thats letting the team down now...

<FONT size=2>^[1] Score is out of 5. Not a strickly linear score though.
^[2] Percent actually means 'better than x percent of respondants'
^[3] I'd say about about a gazillion times better on the XSL now - 18 months practice...
^[4] Really thought I'd do better on the ASP.NET test, and worse on the C#.
