Just added the first set of case studies to the Gold subscription…  They are only pdf/printable at this time – still investigating how we might put them into the interactive engine.  Expect more shortly.

It appears some of our conversion scripts weren't including the explanation and the links.  This has been corrected and all premium tests were updated.

All five of the book exams have been updated on both the Free and Premium portions of the site. (Thanks again AMG!)

On the premium site they are titled:

Foundations_Book_Ch1_[1-4]
Foundations_Book_Ch2_1

On the free site, they are still titled:

Privacy Fundamentals[1-4]
Privacy Law and Compliance 1


The printable tests will be updated soon, although these changes principally centered on the explanations.  There were a few typos cleaned up and a couple of questionable answers on several others.  Unfortunately, all of the fill in the blanks were not taken out.  Nearly all of the answers should have explanations (including the legacy tests) once we're done uploading them.  There are also 250+ new questions.  We'll make every effort to get all of it taken care of tomorrow so everyone at the Privacy Summit can use them…  Please mention the site to everyone you can in DC.  Good luck on the exams next week!

AMG,


We'll get right on those…  Thank you for pointing them out.  The test sets you're pointing to are the oldest on the site…  We are working on cleaning them up, and have outsourced to a tech writer to take care of the spelling and grammar.  Our recommendation (for now) is leave the Book tests until the very end.  This is unfortunately part of the alpha process – we value the feedback!

As far as the questions with incorrect answers but correct explanations, the coding for the site uses numbers instead of letters – a 1 becomes a 2 more easily than an A becomes a B.  

Getting rid of the Fill in the blanks is on our to do list, but we're concentrating on finishing up with the glossaries and cbks first.  

Any further assistance is greatly appreciated!


Best,


JC

As a general matter, I'm glad to have found your site because I study best with sample tests. But an unfortunately large amount of the time, the questions are not helpful because they are either ridiculous or wrong (or at least I can't find any justification in the answers given or the cited source). 

Fundamentals 2 is perhaps the worse I've found -

 1. Mortgage value isn't a public record? Really, because it's posted on my county recorder's website, and I get letters pretty much every week from people trying to sell me insurance/refinance/etc. There's no explanation for this answer.

 2. The publicly recorded warranty deed in my county discloses the marital status of the purchaser and seller.  (i.e. John Smith and Mary Smith, a married couple…"). Again no explanation.

 3. Based on what are improvements public record? I've bought four pieces of real estate in the last three years, and that's news to me.

 4. The answer to 4 is just wrong, since it excludes real estate tax records as public, but the explanation (correctly) states that "Real Estate Tax Information Is Typically Public Record".

 6. The explanation does not explain what "technology model based protections" are, and thus the explanations of what each answer is are not necessarily helpful.

 7-10. Have no explanation.

 11. I do not understand the answers. The inconsistent use of a comma makes it impossible to understand what you are trying to convey, and the English doesn't make sense anyway – the user does not convey their wishes with pre-checked box. (they should read something like ""I opt-in to marketing" with a pre-checked box", I assume)

 12-13. (Same question repeats) What does "out of line" mean? Out of line with EU? With industry practice?  And based on your explanation, I think the answer is wrong. You acknowledge that a company must have the shipping address. Which means the "out of line" statement is "the company should give me a choice."  The answer says that it is "out of line" to say "the company should NOT give me a choice." The reverse is true with the social security answer.

 14, 19. Fill in the blanks are ridiculous. 14 one is perhaps the least unclear that I've seen, but 19 makes no sense.

 20, 24. Proofread your capitalization. 

 22, 23, 24. No explanation/explanation cut off. 

25. How are the OECD guidelines not frameworks for later privacy? Why are they taught then? There's no explanation on this one.


Other ridiculous questions I remember from testing yesterday:

- Which historical cultures recognized privacy?

- A series of questions asking what language entities used to recognize privacy, with four choices that effectively say the same thing using different words.

- A whole test where the haven't been removed around the questions (online privacy, I think)

- Question beginning "a company may…" According to whom? Companies have done all those things without violating the law.

- Safe Harbor questions based on a list of words in the principles. But the other choices that are considered "wrong" are pseudonyms for what is "right" (i.e. sharing v. disclosure)

- Many other examples of explanations that are lacking or nonsensical.

But on a positive note, I also did some glossary sections this morning, and aside from some ridiculous fill in the blanks, have no comments.

Alpha access to the test engine does display the correct answer and the explanations as to why.

Is there a way to access the answers to the questions posted on this site ? It would be great to go back and what was the right answer rather than guessing all the time.


Hi Ahluwal,


We're working on the new test engine as fast as possible.  If you're interested, I'll give you access to the beta site for the new test engine – there aren't nearly as many of the tests that have been converted. 


Cheers!

The quizzes have been moved from the nuke site.  They do not allow question tracking or score comparisons (yet), so if you see problems with any of the questions, please post them here!
