ENEB - exams

[aimz]

I just sat my exam for big data yesterday and passed. It's not too difficult but not easy either. Some questions are badly worded ( or completely illogical) and I would have preferred if there were no NLP questions.

I finished it quite quickly

As you have already taken at least 1 of the exams, how vague are the questions? Being that is essentially an open book exam, if you have a solid grasp of the base knowledge, would you have enough time to search out the 25% that is specific from the texts? Are the texts used for the exam easy to find information in? Any pointers you can think of that would make taking the exams easier?

The questions are very similar to the end of module quizzes. I would recommend having a go at them to get a flavour for what the tests are like.

I can't really comment definitively on the ease/difficulty of the exam because it would vary from person to person, but I think with a couple of weeks of study you will be absolutely fine.

My exam had a deadline of 31 December. I anticipated that December will be quite busy for me so I just took the plunge to sit it. I didn't receive full marks but I am convinced that I perhaps lost 4 marks due to some silly question structure. I also timed my exam around a work meeting that got rescheduled so I had to finish it quickly. I would assume that someone with your background ( based on your signature) would comfortably finish the exam in that time with lots of time to find information for anything you were unsure of.
