UNSW Computer Skills Test

On the 24th of May, some 3's, 4's, 5's and 6's in an University of New South Wales (UNSW) Computer Skills test. There weren't a lot of people so I think I'll do well. There were 35 questions and 35 minutes to complete the test, so that kind of made me extra nervous. The first few questions were pathetic like: 'What cell is selected?' A:C1  B:A1  C:C2  D:E6.  The later questions were more difficult like: 'How do you find the average of column 5?'.  There are 5 other UNSW tests: Science, Spelling, Writing, English and Mathematics. Most people compete in Mathematics... so it's hard to get a good certificate. Writing is hard to get a good score, but you only need about half to get a good certificate. There are 5 different types of certificates/prizes, Participation (Bottom 80% of your state), Credit (Top 20-11% of your state), Distinction (Top 10-2% of your state), High Distinction (Top 1% of your state) and Medal (Top score in your state). Overall, I think I did pretty well in the Computer Skills Test.
