I passed the CSU Global CBE for Basic Programming!

Congratulations Sanantone! Since we rely on the posts on this forum so much and it was hard to find info on this CBE, I just want to post my 16 yr old son's experience with this exam. He studied on and off for it while also taking CSU Programming I (JAVA), and completing quite a few study.com classes. I thought it would be easy for him because he was finding the Prog. I class so easy. He had quite a bit of Java experience and just minimal VB.net experience. He went through the class and still kept scoring in the high 60's on the pre-test, so I rented the book for him. It helped. He loves reading anything to do with programming. What helped him the most though was just playing around and writing VB.net code. After about a week or two of doing this, a few hours here and there, he decided to take a chance on the exam. He passed! Just a note that the essay questions came first and you can not go back to a question once you answer. He thought the hardest part was that there were several multiple choice questions that said there was more than one answer and they didn't always tell you how many to pick. Hope this helps someone. BTW he gat an easy A in Programming I and is now doing Programming II.

Thank you. My essay questions came last, and I was not allowed to go back.

Congrats!

Just a professional development course or are you pushing for another degree?

Thanks. It's for the BSBA.
