ArchiCAD Competency Challenge

[Akos Pfemeter]

Dear Archi-Talkers,

Have you ever been in a situation where you were questioned about your level of skill using ArchiCAD, and you have only your own words to rate your abilities? With Graphisoft's recently launched on-line testing resource, now you can measure your ArchiCAD knowledge against an authorized global standard. Please click on the below URL for details of our User Certification Program...

Dear Akos,

who are the "authorized ArchiCAD examiners" as described in GS page?
How does someone get this type of accreditation?

Dear Archi-Talkers,

The problem with the scores was caused by a database error. The error is fixed now but unfortunately we were unable to restore the correct values of the results so far, so we removed the incorrect scores from the 'Results' page.

Sorry for the inconveniences and thanks for your patience...

Authorized ArchiCAD Examiners can be Graphisoft's distributors or 3rd parties nominated by distributors. We will start this kind of service initially in the US and the UK...

I liked the test. I thought it was very good. It worked for me. Many questions seemed trivial, but I suppose they are exaclty the kind of obscure little tidbits an "expert" just happens to remember. Some of the questions were about things you do all of the time by reflex but you may not recall the exact buttons you push to do it.
I thought it was very useful in pointing out some of my weak spots.
It would have helped a little to have ArchiCAD open for some quick checks. I got a 60%

As soon as I answer the first question (XP Pro SP2 / IE), the test ends, asking to publish the results or not.

I'm guessing that the test uses cookies or something that my security settings are restricting, but I'm not getting any cookie or other warnings and am reluctant to change my security settings in IE...?

Karl,
you are most probably right and this problem is related to Cookie handling settings. Please enable all cookies for www.graphisoft.com...

I was having the same problem. It would work on my powerbook, but not on the office machine. I deleted cookies from graphisoft, being careful to not remove the ones from architalk. This fixed the problem.

Is there any chance, that there will be the challenge in other languages (my wish: german)? I was starting trying the test, but with all this "not" and the other names for all the names in ArchiCAD it was very hard, and i didn't finished the test.

Thanks
