JMSS 2014 Testing Talk!

i am probably obsessed with programming and IT .....pretty good with WinForms(WPF is annoying) in C#, learning Swift and C++ atm, plus pretty good at Pascal, javascript, html.

Do you do codeacademy? I managed to complete the first module on there, and then got stuck haha...

nah, cant be stuffed, imo, i just expand my knowledge by setting myself goals as in some projects that i release to a forum and some projects go on my github

I used to do a bit on codeacademy, but I found that teaching myself through forums and examples was easier. Codeacademy didn't feel right for me.

You're like a genius Hannibal, how would you get stuck with something so simple like programming???

Seriously though guys I mean for the fact that we are even bothering to think about it and take the time to consult ideas and stuff it's way more than what most people are doing I know a group of kids from one school are doing it cause their parents want them to and haven't studied at all.. So on the bright side we will all beat at least the 15 I know of...  We can do this never surrender

Hahahaha Elisha i like your positive thinking !! YEP, over 50 students from my school are trying out, although i know like no more than 10 students actually been studying for the test..

I reckon that's about the same with most of the people trying out.. (I hope anyway!!) what are you guys bringing as snacks...

[Rilin]

Some of the people who're applying from my school don't want to get in, but are rather forced by their parents. That's not right... :/

I haven't actually thought about snacks. What were the details you got in the email about the day? Did they tell you anything about times or whatever? I might just bring like a muesli bar and an apple with a water bottle, or something simple like that. Muesli is extremely good for you, so make sure you eat that before your test.

Simple? Mmm

Anyway, food wise I'll probably bring a juice box or something like that. I got the sheet that has all the information for the tests, did anyone else get it? We need photo identification haha.

Peanut butter is a superfood, so it might increase my chance of getting an interview

 Basically they said you need photo ID plastic see through bag with snack and drink bottle. No phones calcs, and bring a pen a pencil a sharpener and a rubber in a zip lock plastic thing. 
I really don't know what to bring as a snack... And have you ever had a "green smoothie" I will have that for breakfast

[Elisha913]

Thanks for this. I'll have to make sure I get all that stuff ready for the test. I haven't actually had a 'green smoothie'. I'll have to try one. Does it have like avocado and spinach and stuff in it or what? I kinda like spinach, but only with cheese

Oh... and does a Student ID count as photo evidence?
