SMART Test question

I have two ipod classics gen 7 160gb. I am going to keep only one... I read on the net that I can run a diag test and I followed the steps... Here are the results from the SMART test - I dont know what these numbers mean...
1st ipod -
Retracts: 6
Reallocs: 2024
Pending Sectors: 16
PowerOn Hours: 212
Start/Stops:6823
Temp: Current 22C
Temp: Min 59C
Temp: Max 254C
BatteryA2D=4062
This one missed a few areas in the smart wheel test...
Cosmetically - like new
2nd ipod -
Retracts: 1
Reallocs: 0
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 18
Start/Stops: 3493
Temp: Current 22C
Temp: Min 10C
Temp: Max 50C
Battery A2D=4170
This one passed the whole Auto Test
Cosmetically - minor scratch and one small dent
Which one is in a better shape? Please advise... Thanks

Hi Sp633,
The 2nd iPod is in significantly better shape over the first one.
High allocs and pending sectors show that the hard drive is starting to fail.
Don't look at it cosmetically; anyone can change a front panel. Keep the second one and it will last you for much longer than the first, since it has next-to-no hard drive issues visible at the time.
Good Luck,
Stefan

Hard drive i/o error, spinning beachballs. PASSES Smart test, but fails two specific parameters:

I'm on a Macbook from early 2007.
First off, I'm fully aware that my HD is probably on its last legs and I have two gigantic TB external HDs on which there are multiple images of the entire drive, so data loss is not currently a problem for me. I've also just finished college assignments for the summer so I can afford to mess around with this a bit before taking the plunge and replacing it.
What intrigues me is this. The machine has been extremely slow for a long time. Recently I disabled swapping and the speed rocketed, presumably due to the HD being utilized less during usage. Now the downside to disabling swapping is that when Safari Web Content gets out of control as it always eventually does, you can have a full on system hang which requires a forced shutdown through the power button. So it's very possible that the issues I'm currently experiencing are to do with the machine being improperly shut down one too many times and somehow damaging the drive itself.
But anyway, this is the interesting aspect. Using TTP I ran a SMART test on the internal HD from one of the bootable partitions on one of the external ones, and to my astonishment, it actually PASSES the smart test. The only two parameters which fail are the following:
Raw Read Error Rate
Write Error Count
An image of the SMART test results is attached:
Now to give you an example of the kind of issues I'm having, in order to take that screenshot I used "Grab". When searching for Grab in spotlight it gave me results from the internal HD and from all the various backup drives I have attached. I opened the internal copy and one from a backup partition on another drive (neither of which currently booted from). The one from the backup bounced and opened. The one from internal bounced about 15 times, the spotlight bar hung with a spinning beacball, and I ended up force quitting because I got sick of waiting for it. That's the major symptom of the issue I'm having.
Now here's the reason I'm posting. As I say I know this drive is about to go so there's no need to lecture me about that, I can't replace it immediately but plan to in the very near future when I have a chance. My question is this. Those two specific failed SMART results, what exactly would cause them in terms of HD problems? Bearing in mind that it passes every single other SMART parameter, am I looking at unmapped bad blocks, a physical problem with the head, a loose wire, a bad motor, or what? I'm just wondering specifically what might be wrong with the drive, out of pure curiosity more so than anything else. The fact that most parameters pass suggests to me that it's one very specific malfunction as opposed to the drive generally imploding.
A surface scan from TTP crashed, but not before giving me about 30 "Used block is not a file" messages.
Finally, to temporarily use this drive, what's the procedure? If it's unmapped bad blocks, to I erase and install, or do I go into the whole "zero all data, then reformat" option? I have a backup image taken last night from the external drive which I can restore to the internal any time I want, and as I say with so many backups and so few deadlines ahead of me I don't mind messing around a bit and experimenting.
So if it IS a bad block issue, what does one do to force it to map them?

Had a feeling. As I say it's already fully backed up and ATM I'm running the machine off a partition on the external. But as I say, I'm curious as to what's actually wrong with it - what type of damage / failure would cause those specific smart parameters to fail but not the rest? The motor, the head, the disk surface, what?

Pre-test Questions used as Knowledge Builders

I need questions at the beginning of a course that will not be included when the learner clicks on the Retake and Review Quiz buttons. Pre-test questions work but they don't allow the use of text captions for incorrect and correct feedback. They use smart shapes. Are there any other limitations of Pre-test Questions?

There are a lot of limitations. You are expected to have pretest question in sequence at the start of the course. All navigation will be cancelled: by playbar and by TOC.
But what you say about the feedback being only smart shapes as text containers is not true at all. They follow the same styling as normal question slides. If you turned on Use Shapes for SFH in the Preferences, Defaults, it will be shapes. You can always change this even after having inserted the Quiz/Preset slides by going to the corresponding master slide, right-click on the shape and choose 'Revert to caption'. Although to me it is a mystery why you should prefer captions, just my personal opinion because shapes are so much easier to format.
If you use normal question slides, and do not add its score to the Total score, most system quizzing variables will not include those 'Knowledge' slides. But indeed, as you point out, Review and Retake will go to the first Question slide, which may be a knowledge slide. With a shared/advanced action it is pretty easy to circumvent this. I almost never use Pretest slides for its limitations. Whenever possible I use custom question slides instead of the default ones for Knowledge slides.

Test questions for cerfitication on SBO2007

Hi all,
i am a sbo consultant and have about 2 years experience. I am currently studying the E-learning curriculum with view to the get the certification as a SBO 2007 implementation consultant. There are some self-test questions available with the curriculum, but it would be better if there were more.
any info on how get more test exam questions would be greatly appreciated.
best regards,
michael

Hi,
Please go through the first book and third book ( ie. Logistics & Implementation ) . Why i am saying is you have some direct questions. when you go into the accounts book there wont be direct question. all the questions are based on business scenario.
But my advice is to get learn all have knowledge in all the books, do the test well my best wishes to get success for you online examination.

Random test questions quiz results not working

I have a project with random test questions. It's published in HTML5...Each time I play the project in preview, the test results are accurate and correct at the end...However after I have published the project to my site, all the random test questions are NOT accurately scored in at the end of the quiz...It's tells me basically I got all the questions wrong, when in fact the on each questions my display is clearly stating it's correct.
If I move the question out of the random test questions and back into the main project...it is scored correctly, but once it's back in the "pools" area, it is scored incorrectly in the final tally as a random test question...Don't have a clue why this is...it's really been time consuming trying to fix it...and my fortune so far fixing anything to do with Captivate is really low! Buggy! I'm using Captivate 8, so have no idea...
Anyone have any idea what is going on?

So obvious I don't know why I didn't think of that. LOL
Many thanks that works.
It would appear that the only way to adjust the pause is to add time to the
slide as I am unable to slide the pause back. But changing the slide of 3
secs to 3.1 does work.
Is there an easy way to do this for ALL slides or do I just have to do it
one by one.
Again many thanks

Can we send pre-test score (Pre-test question slide) and post test score (Question slide) both in lms from captivate?

Pretest score normally is not sent to the LMS. However it is stored in a system variable, you could use JS to send it.

VSTS load test QUESTION : While recording the webPerformanceTest, is it is possible to clear / force to clear cachewithout stopping or closing the IE on recorder?

VSTS load test QUESTION : While recording the webPerformanceTest, is it is possible to clear / force to clear cache without stopping or closing the IE on recorder?
I am facing issue, while recording the webtest, our application first time loading any screen calls some requests and 2nd time when browsed the same information if it is available at cache then it will not
call the requests again.
How can i force the VSTS to clear cache while recording, so that i can record those requests which gets called at the first time.

Hi SatishK,
Thanks for your reply.
>>but my question was while recording (During recording using web test recorder) i want to clear cache.
Based on your issue,
I did some research about it,
but I still find the official document about it. Generally, I know that if we want to clear the web performance test by the
Cashe Control properties, so I think that it is not possible to clear the cashes when we are recording the web performance.
If you still want to this feature for web performance test, I suggest you could submit this feature request:

Setting a Conditional Action for Pre-Test questions: Skipping Content Slides

OK boys and girls, let's see if this is even possible within one course SCO, or if this a multi-SCO solution (which means I'm toast, because we don't have the multi-SCO aggregator)?
I want to set up a prescriptive pre-test. In my ideal world, answers to each individual question would either enable or disable the content slides connected to the question. If the user passes the pre-test, they could opt to skip the prescriptive stuff and complete the course. If the user fails the pretest, they would have to view the enabled content.
Is this even possible in a single SCO world?
Justenuf

Jim belongs in that pantheon of good guys as well, so many here have pointed me in the right direction and helped me move forward with the capabilities of this software. And, in that spirit - here's my work around for the pretest/post test in a SCORM 1.2 environment:
Created an entrance slide that allows opting totake the pretest or not - but only allows you to take it once.
Created one test (take off the question x of x widget) split it and slide the content in between it. In this case, 10 questions with 5 in each set.
Titled the first set of questions as a PreTest and the second set as a Post Test.
Set my passing score at 4 correct. (the user only needs to get 4 out 5 on either set correct to pass - and I'm setting up an action that only allows the user to see the questions they missed if they fail the pretest.)
Created variables for each "pretest" question and set them at 0. Created on Enter advanced actions on each slide following a question that toggled the variable to 1 if the question was answered correctly if "CpQuizInfoLastSlidepointScored is equal to 1" then "Assign Question<x> with 1"
Created an On Enter advanced action for each content area slide "Skip #" that allowed prescription:
"If Question # is equal to 1 or cpQuizInfoPassFail is equal to 1, then Go to Next Slide"
Only the content connected to the missed questions in the pretest is seen.
Copied the same On Enter advanced action the Post test questions and renamed it "SkipPost #" that allowed prescription:
"If Question # is equal to 1 or cpQuizInfoPassFail is equal to 1, then Go to Next Slide"
Only the questions related to the reviewed content are seen
The sum total of these activities is the following -
The user can choose to take the pretest and complete the course by gettiong 4 or 5 questions correct and jump to the exit page.
     If the user takes the pretest and scores lower than 80%, the content for the missed questions is viewed and the user must answer the questions regarding
     that content. The user passes the course when he/she answers the fourth question correctly.
The user can choose to view the content, take the post test and pass the course by answering 4 of 5 correctly.
it's running right in preview, in web browser preview and on my LMS previewer, with one navigation error.
      the error: after failing the pretest, taking the prescribed content and anse wering the questions correctly, the course occasionally jumps to the results page
     and s displays a failure message, then freezes in place. it does NOT happen each time, which is why I am cy urrently scurrying back to my happy place to dwell
     on this mystery awhile.

Global Object Access Auditing test question

Hello!
There's a test question (N4) I'd like to have clearified:
http://exam.test4actual.com/70-411.pdf
Yes, D and F will enable auditing with no extra replication traffic, but enabling Global Object Acces Auditing will lead to auditing not only SYSVOL shares but to any others as well (http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/03/10/global-object-access-auditing-is-magic.aspx)
- is this replication traffic worth it???
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hi,
For this question, the correct answer is DF, but we do not need to use Global Object Acces Auditing policy to audit SYSVOL shares.
About the replication traffic, please refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742457.aspx
Meanwhile, any changes made to SYSVOL are automatically replicated to the other domain controllers in the domain. If the files stored in SYSVOL change frequently, the replication increases the input and output for the volume where SYSVOL is located. For
example, editing a GPO can potentially force a GPO-level replication. If the volume is also host to other system files, such as the directory database or the pagefile, then the increased input and output for the volume can impact the performance of the server.

Test Question disagreement

Hello, I have a disagreement about a java test question my teacher wrote and I was hoping someone here could clear it up once and for all. My instructor and I agree on just about everything except what "will be used with objects " means.
for example (you can skip past the code, I'm sure most of you are familiar with the rules, lol):
public class AnIntegerNamedX
static private int x;
static public int x()
return x;
static public void setX(int newX)
x = newX;
public static void main(String argv[])
//example of a class method, working without creating an object
AnIntegerNamedX.setX(1);
System.out.println("AnIntegerNamedX.x = " + AnIntegerNamedX.x());
//example of a class method being accessed from (used with) an object
AnIntegerNamedX Bob = new AnIntegerNamedX();
Bob.setX(2);
System.out.println("AnIntegerNamedX.x = " + Bob.x());
Bob is an object made from the AnIntegerNamedX class, and x() is a class method (as I'm sure you can see, but I have to write it down for my own sake)
Bob.setX(2); works because class methods can "be used with objects".
(in the book it says "class methods must be static" so I use the words class and static interchangeably)
so, if static methods can be used with objects then this T/F question would be true:
"class(static) methods that will be used with objects are usually static."
Aren't all static methods usually static? I can understand how she interpreted it to be false, she feels that class methods can't "be used with objects" because they are static. However, I just gave what I think is a good example of using a static method with an object; or is using the term "using" like that wrong? I feel this really comes down to such a slight technicality that the question should be thrown out.
I feel I answered the question correctly, just not how she intended. But because I'm not a mind reader, I didn't know what she intended, just what the question was and because the wording "be used with" is too vague it opened the question up to be miss-interpreted.
what do you think? and please don't play the devils advocate, people seem to like doing that to me for some reason.
Smashing

The problem with OOP terminology is that it's looser than anybody wants to admit.
An object can be related to its meta-object (i.e., its class) and call that meta-object's methods (i.e., static methods of the class that object is an instance of). So class methods can be used by objects. It's not quite clear if "used with objects" would have the same meaning or if the speaker would mean something else.
I'd say that of course class methods can be used with objects, for example:
public static String echo(String arg) {
return arg;
}See? It's a static method, and it's being used with its argument, which is an object. For that matter, each class is itself an instance of Class, which is a subclass of Object.
This sentence:
"class(static) methods that will be used with objects are usually static."I'd say is true, because static methods are always static (just blue things are blue), and thus they're also usually static. Now, I suppose you could say that it should be false because "usually" does not equal "always", but then the question is vague that way -- it depends on your definition of "is" -- does it mean equivalency or inclusion?
I'd say your teacher is wrong, not because of the truth or falseness of these statements, but because she's trying to give hard true/false answers to questions that aren't specified very precisely. Also I'm wondering now if she's even aware that a class is an instance of Class which is a subclass of Object, or if she is aware why she didn't tell you (maybe she just wanted the argument to end).

Extra long lag with voice-over test questions

Hello,
I have recently been using voice over on my courses and the test for learners who may not be able to read. I have noticed when I use audio on a test question and choose the correct answer and click "submit" there is a long lag on the slide after clicking. It could be anywhere from 5-25 seconds of a lag between questions. I am at a loss on this and it only happens when I use audio.

Hi Ryan,
Maybe you are not aware of the fact that a question slide has a pausing point that is set by default at 1.5 secs. Look at the timeline: you'll see the pausing point as a vertical bar (not very visible on the blue timeline).
The two-step process for submitting is happening at that pausing point. After the second step (Press Y or...) the playhead will Continue if you keep the default actions for Success and After Last Attempt, which will mean that you'll have to wait till it reaches the end of the slide. Due to your VO the slide will have increased much in duration, original duration was 3 secs, which meant a waiting time of 1.5 secs after the pause. Now you'll have a much longer waiting time.
Two possible solutions:
Drag the pausing point more towards the end of the question slide (there is no other way than dragging)
Change the actions for Success and After Last Attempt to 'Go to Next Slide'. However sometimes this can cause an issue... depending on the deployment

Pre and Post test Questions

I have a project that requires a pre-test, post-test and
knowledge reviews throughout the course. I have created 10 question
slides (I did not use question pools). I am having two issues occur
within the course. First I do not want to track or score the
pre-test questions or the questions embedded within the course what
I will refer to as Knowledge reviews.
I do want the user to go through and receive feedback on each
question answered incorrectly but I do not want a score to be
collected/tracked or tallied as part of the sum total for the
course. The post-test questions need to be the only tracked/scored
questions with that value being submitted to the LMS.
Currently all the questions are being tallied in the course.
(i.e test results show 30 questions with a score when there should
only be 10). What is the best way to include mutiple questions
within my course (as pre-test and Knowledge reviews) but not have a
score tracked until the user takes a post test.
To correct this should I change the pre-test and knowledge
reviews to a survey type question? Or should I leave the question
as graded but set the point value to 0. I inially left the pre-test
and knowldge reviews as graded questions but I deselected Report
Answers under the reporting tab thinking this would prevent the
passing of a score, which is not the case.
If anyone can offer some advice or point me to some
documentaiton that discusses this I would greatly appreciate any
help.
The second issue I have is with the progress indicator within
the course. Is there a way to revmove this from the quesiton pages.
My client does not want to see this indicator. The current work
around I am using is to reduce the font size of the indicator to
5pt, setting the font color to match my background and then
positioning the indicator in a set loation on the page. While this
workaround works I would like to remove it in total if possible.
Thanks in advance,

The first part sounds very weird. I just made a project which
included knowledge checks in the middle of the course and they are
not tracked in the final test. I used Graded questions in my course
and I initially set the score per question to 0 points. After I
found out that they were counted in the question total I removed
the reporting for each of the questions. Now the points are not
being counted and also the questions are not being counted in the
final assesment - I just have the 6 questions out of 6 in the
post-test even though I have 4 knowledge checks inside the course
it self.
Try and click F9 to open up the advanced interaction panel
and make sure that the answers are not being reported. I know it's
obvious, but sometimes Captivate does some weird things.
As for your second question regarding the progress indicator
you can remove that by going to Quiz - Quiz Preferences - Settings
and then unchecking the box "Show Progress".
Best regards,
Michael
