Test Instructions

-------------------------

1. This is the Module Test 1 for Troubleshooting and Mantaining PC.

2. The total number of questions that will be presented to you in the test are 27.

3. The amount of time available to complete this test is 55 minutes.4. There are no negative marks for answering a question incorrectly. Hence you can

attempt all questions.

5. You MUST maintain silence while taking the test.

6. You MUST NOT discuss anything with your peers while taking the test.

7. You MUST NOT peep into your neighbor's screen.

for assistance.

10. The pass percentage for this test is 50.

*****************************************************************************************

The queries, which are in the attached .mdb, are run to check the hygiene of the database.

There should not be extra space b/w words of stem_text. More than two space has to be

corrected.

The scrolling of the OLT engine window should be vertical, not horizontal. All the options

are visible properly in OLT engine.

If the stem_test has the character "&", and in order to make it appear as "&" in OLT engine,

it need to be written as &&. For example, for "&a" in the OLT engine, the stem_text should

be "&&a", AND for "&&a" in the OLT engine, the stem_text should be "&&&&a".

In case of ILB, the naming convention of MT should be according to the following naming

convention:

___MT_For ex: IECV2_BSIM_Sem C_MT_V1.0

Blueprint should be as per the attached format.The ratio of level wise questions should be: L1 & L2 : L3 & L4 = 60 : 40

In MT, number of sets in tblQuestions is 5.

The with source database MUST contain the tblQuestions_Crosstab query and MUST NOT

contain any other query and modules.

The without source database must be in 97 format and must not contain any query (not

even tblQuestions_Crosstab) or module.

Before sending the database for QA, ensure that the database is tested in the OLT Engine

for the Total no. of questions in all the set. For example, if the total no of sets is 5, then the

testing needs to be done for all the 5 sets and then for the 1 set. The OLT report for both

need to be submitted to QA.

Combination of cmap_id and alevel_id in the tblQuestions is as per the Blue Print.

The components that need to be given to QA are: Filled in database checklist (soft copy),

with source .mdb, with out source (5 set), with out source (1 set), and the blueprint.

unique for each record. For ex: IMC_GNIM_M1.

Curriculum and Semester Column in Module_Master table should not be blank.

Module Field in Module_Master table must contain the name of the module.Parameter_ID field must contain the parameters that are assigned against the
