Willem,
In case of the simulator, we control the update process and so a user gets the updated version as soon as we update it. We do update the eBook on Amazon also at the same time. However, we do not know when the customer of the eBook gets the update because it is done by Amazon. Therefore, an ebook user may see errors that have already been fixed. For this reason, we have included the statement that you've quoted.
If you have purchased the ebook, you will not get anything new, in terms of content, by purchasing the simulator.
HTH,
Paul.

We did quite a bit of reorganization as well as add new questions a few months ago when Oracle made changes to the exam (they changed the number of questions, duration, and pass percent). The current version of ebook on Amazon reflects the same.
But it looks like Amazon has stopped updating yours. We are not really sure about their policy on for how long and how frequently they update the readers. In this case, you will see about 20% change between the old and the new version.

Willem De Bruyn wrote:Well I would say the actual exam was on par with most of the Enthuware as far as difficulty goes, but compared to the first time around this felt much harder, there were A LOT of questions with bloated code snippets that is just very hard to work through given that you only have about 90 seconds per question, I would say the first time I took this test for every 3 straight forward questions there was 1 question the needed some thinking and working through... This time it felt the other way around...

The right way to do it would be to when a person enters their real score, at that point their Enthu scores are included too.
If you can't get both for some reason then you act to the user like the real score was submitted but really don't. That might be what they do but I doubt it.

I am not sure if I understand what you mean. Some users submit their real exam scores, some don't. We can't do anything about that. We certainly don't cook the numbers. We just show the data that we receive.

Paul Anilprem wrote:Now, the viewer automatically picks only the first attempt scores of Standard Tests, computes their average, and displays that average on the submit dialog. But it doesn't allow the user to change this value.
Paul Anilprem wrote:Further, only those users who have taken at least one Standard Test and have scored more than 35% in that test can submit the scores.
Guillermo Ishi wrote:The point of my rambling was to say that from the Wall we don't know anything about Enthu scores from the set of people who didn't pass the real, so we can't scientifically say if you make X on Enthu you make X on real. We assume Enthu scores of the people who didn't pass the real were significantly lower than the Enthu scores of people who passed the real, but we can't prove it.
Guillermo Ishi wrote:Even if you paid everybody to enter their real score, there's no assurance it is a genuine real score! I don't know how to fix this for sure, even if you included Certview somehow. If whatever you require users to do isn't simple, nobody will bother to do it.
Roel De Nijs wrote:
Paul Anilprem wrote:Further, only those users who have taken at least one Standard Test and have scored more than 35% in that test can submit the scores.
Assume I take in total 4 standard tests (mock exams):
Test 1: 25% (I was unprepared) Test 2: 55% (I studied really hard) Test 3: 30% (I clearly don't understand a few key objectives) Test 4: 65% (I focused on those few key objectives) What's my average mock score? Based on your explanation I guess 60% (only test 2 & 4 are taken into account). Or is it 50% (test 2, 3 & 4)? Because once you passed the 35% treshold you are considered to be prepared and all tests from that point count.
1/ I know from your website a user gets a refund if he/she fails. But what's the procedure? Do I have to submit my actual exam score as well? Or send Enthuware a mail with a copy of my certification status? Maybe it could be interesting if it was linked with submitting the scores. Then you have statistics for exam failures. Or maybe these scores are already incorporated in the current average scores. If it is, it might be useful to have two seperate average scores tables.
2/ Assume I want some practice, but I don't have time to do a complete mock exam, I only have 75 minutes available. Can I start a customized test in "real exam mode"? So I enter the number of minutes and the software calculates how many questions I must solve in this duration (based on the actual exam details (70 questions in 7200 seconds). These questions could be randomly chosen based on exam objective or from mock exams I already completed or ... I would not allow to pick questions from mock exams which are not completed yet (it might mess up the average score)
Kind regards,
Roel

Enlighten me please.
Paul Anilprem wrote:Also, I think if you go from scoring 55% to 30%, there must have been some other unrelated reason such as disturbance which caused you to either just end the test or zip through it. Not a good data point to keep.
Paul Anilprem wrote:1. You can create a custom test containing any number of randomly selected questions on any exam objective (s). The time is automatically adjusted as per the time limitation per question of the real exam. It is technically possible to avoid questions from any standard test(s) but avoiding them is a little more work. You can see the list of question ids for any standard test, you can copy it and paste it while creating a customized test (it asks you if you want to exclude certain questions while creating a customized test).
2. You can enter the amount of time you have and it will keep throwing you as many questions as you can answer in that time limit. If you do not want to see questions from other unused tests, you can focus only on questions that you've missed earlier or attempted earlier. This will not mess up the average score.
3. It is currently not possible to just specify the time and expect a fixed number of questions depending on the time limit per question.

No doubt! You'll definitely be ready after a gazillion mock/practice questions. But I've seen a few people already mentioning that they encountered on the actual exam some questions which were almost identical to Enthuware practice questions. This worries me a bit, because that could probably be a violation of Oracle's exam policy.
