Exactly. Even though I have a degree in physics, I still have to take my socks off to count past 10 :) > Matt, asking you as a matter of interest from under an exam-simulator > developer's hat, can you confirm or deny that »n questions for a weight-n > objective« is how it's going to be, or will there still be some random > variability such that on individual exams there might be, say, 2, 3, or 4 > questions for a weight-3 objective (and possibly 4, 3, or 2 for the next one > so the total stays the same)? I would say that adherence to the 1 weight == 1 question will be the rule and not the exception. > World.

I don't teach as much as I used to but I used to tease the students that they aren't a "real" admin until they've written their own backup scripts...and then tossed them for something that really works :) BTW, I was also trying to remove some local/english jargon from the objectives. Looking over the scripting section, I realized that we used the 'shebang' term. Is there a universally acceptable term for that?
