HamTesting.com test review system released
September 17, 2007I’ve been busy with school and other things that I’m not going to talk about at the moment *cough* cackl *cough*, however I finally got the question pool review system built for hamtesting.com. With this release, we now offer more functionality for your dollar than any other ham test prep site on the internet.
There are a few things that need to be tweaked, but this was the last major piece that needed to be done so that people had a useful tool for preparing for their tests. I’m sure that there is going to be some tweaks, feature enhancements, that will be done, but none of the other features are going to require as much work as the review system needed.
What happened was that I wrote the practice tests without using a database, everything was done using XML. When I started working on the test review system I realized that I needed all of the data in the database, which meant that most of the classes that I had used for the practice tests weren’t really usable for the review system. In the end, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was certainly more work than it should have been.
