Weeellll, maybe you're getting lots of calls about the AC, but there were only *four* of us at San Francisco State last weekend!! One woman, three men. Two guys wanting to document their Acad skills to improve their job positions, one woman whose company encouraged her to take it because she was a new-hire, and me, just wanting to see what people were being subjected to. The woman said that others at her company didn't want to take it because they "don't know *plain* AutoCAD anymore". I think they were just chicken… Maybe if you schedule it a *lot* later in the day on Saturday, you'll get better attendance <semi-g>. My comments: (not necessarily the views of this station's management) 1.) The instructions in the confirmation letter from Drake were wrong as to the room number (they left off a digit). Not a nice way to start the day! The facility was hosting TWO tests that day, and there were no signs to direct the attendees to the corect room. The door to the AC room was closed, and there were no Autodesk, ATC or Drake personnel anywhere in sight. Not that I expected any Autodesk people up at that hour <g>!! But for $125 each, there could've been a pot of coffee and a sweetroll! (Yo, Volker! You listening?) Oh yeah, we had time for breakfast because the test started late, too! << Wayne, you *did* say not to be shy didn't you? When have you ever known me to …. >> 2.) There should be a break between the 120 minute drawing portion and the 60 minute multiple choice portion; even though it has been pared down to 60 minutes for 100 multiple choice questions, three hours is a *long* time to go without a break. Especially after 3-4 cups of coffee on Saturday morning! We got permission from the Proctor to go to the head, but geez… And BTW, both sets of info I got about the AC said 150 questions in 90 minutes – that should be corrected. 3.) I'm surprised more people were not taking it because they were just curious [>> Continued in next msg]
