Anyone else taking Lionbridge Exam next week?

I passed - Yay! 2 part exam in one night and it wasn't too hard. The thing that takes time is the reading beforehand haha. Hated it!

Looking forward to starting now. Good luck to everyone else who has been invited.

For me the trick is not to try and read it all in one go without a break. I get information overload that way and it doesn't make sense. I read a few pages and then look at something else or do something else before going back to it.

This is my plan, I finished part one last night, the same night they sent me all the details. Going to take three days to read everything thoroughly, and then start part 2 on Monday.

Wow well done, I am halfway thro part one, the reading is incredibly difficult so i am not holding out too much hope but good luck everyone else!!

I'm planning to finish part one tomorrow and make a start on part two if I pass. It is heavy reading but I'm sure it will make more sense when we do the work.

I found it easiest to read as I was answering the questions for part one, rather than read through the whole thing and then start the exam. I just kept searching for specific words which were mentioned in the questions.

Passed part one, done some of part 2 and the guidelines are beginning to make sense now, but I think I am thinking too hard about the questions because I am sooo slow!!:cool:

I've just passed part one. I'll leave part two until tomorrow when the brain ache may have receded.

I've submitted the final task this morning before I went mad, it's far too tempting to go over it a million times double checking things.

I think/hope I did okay, I quite enjoyed it really, but not sure whether I found it a bit too easy, meaning I have made loads of mistakes.

Deadline was 7am Wed so it's a waiting game for the results now.

Good luck to those still doing the exam. Fingers crossed for us all!

Yes, I've done mine as well. In the end it got easier and easier so I hope I haven't rushed through. If I have then I'm probably not suited to the job but I think I've done alright. We'll just have to wait and see.
