The holder of a SL Certification has demonstrated compentency in the basic SL User Interface, SL Permissions

This certification exam would consist of objective questions such as true/false or multiple choice, and of simulated labs for examining a candidate's expertise. For this reason, it is essential that those aspiring for SL Scripting Certification should have sufficient hands-on experience. The majority of questions will require the writing of scripts.

Test Scoring

Proposal A

This complex scoring system allows for sections to be tailored so that less important sections have less impact on the score without upsetting the balance of points.

  • Each section is scored separately.
  • Each question will be worth x number of points.
  • Each section would have a set number of points that could count towards the total.
    • A hypothetical section may contain 20 points worth of questions of which only 15 would be counted.
    • This would allow for the user to get a certain number of questions wrong in a section without it affecting the score.
  • The section scores would be totalled and then a pass/fail would be determined based on some set number of points that could be missed.
    • The total section usable points may add up to something like 200 but the user would only need something like 190 to pass.
