Ahhhh yes, the intermediate exam. Why is it that this exam resembles that of a college course? The fact that all of the questions/answers come "right off the slides" is a blatant and complete farce. I've had plenty of college professors in my day tell me "ahhh don't worry about the exam, study the slides and you'll be fine." And that may very well be, and usually when exams are designed with this format in mind, I pass or have passed. How couldn't you? If 75% of the material on the test comes straight from the slides, everyone should at minimum get a 75% (C on the grading scale). This would be considered passing, anywhere you went in the United States.
Now, here's where 3CX and Colleges differ. 3CX considers a 25/30 to be passing, basically deducing that the percentage for a "Pass" is an 83.33%. Now, apply that same concept to school or college and you're all of a sudden hit with a ton of bricks. How can, what is considered to be a "B-," be the minimum passing grade? That's outrageous - and not for this reason alone, but because of the fact that they tell you "All info comes from the slides," when in fact, it doesn't. 25% of the questions can't be answered from the slides or if having access to a 3CX system.
Call me lazy, call me insane, call me outright foolish. This is completely ridiculous. I shouldn't have to spend hours looking over the same 8 slideshows just to answer 25 questions correctly. I mean how many times can you actually "look at the slides?" They can be looked at during the exam for crying out loud, and the question even tells you the section from which the question stems. So honestly, how beneficial is "looking over the slides." Sounds like a massive waste of time on something that doesn't really matter in the long run. In fact, I'm starting to think 3CX is just that. A waste of time.
