• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

So... the above users' answers were graded, they were awarded raw scores. Grade boundaries were constructed and scaled points were then obtained for each user. In the end, the total amount of points was 500.

There was a seven letter grading system. Candidates were assigned a grade in each subject, as well as an overall grade.

Per subject, the grades and corresponding scaled marks were:
A* - 95/100
A - 85/100
B - 75/100
C - 65/100
D - 55/100
E - 50/100
F - below 50/100

The total for this exam is 500 scaled marks (from 160 raw marks). The grades and corresponding scaled marks were:
A* - 475/500
A - 425/500
B - 375/500
C - 325/500
D - 275/500
E - 250/500
F - below 250/500

The summary of the results:
The highest total score was: 468/500 (An A grade)

The lowest total score was: 115/500 (An F grade)

Twelve (12) users earned an A grade overall (their scores ranged from 425 to 468).

Twenty-four (24) users earned a B grade overall (their scores ranged from 376 to 413).

Twenty (20) users earned a C grade overall (their scores ranged from 328 to 374).

Twenty (20) users earned a D grade overall (their scores ranged from 277 to 374).

Three (3) users earned an E grade overall (their scores ranged from 257 to 272).

Fifteen (15) users earned an F grade overall (their scores ranged from 115 to 248).

Two (2) users earned the highest amount of individual A* grades per subject. Those users earned three A*s.

The highest score in Pokemon Mechanics was copped by three users who scored 100/100.

The highest score in Pokemon History was copped by one user who scored 97/100.

The highest score in Pokemon Math was copped by two users who scored 100/100.

The highest score in General Pokemon was copped by three users who scored 100/100.

The highest score in Pokemon Battling & Contests was copped by three users who scored 100/100.

Special Thanks To...
Dragonfree! Without her help, none of the high-tech shizz would not have been possible. Dragonfree was kind enough to host the exam for me on her website. In addition, she made scripts for: the login system, the exam page and the marking system. Thank you so much!

Erik Destler :) He will be looking very closely at this thread. Better read the sign-up instructions carefully.


A Blast From The Past!
Can you emerge on top like Kveran and Guraena did in 2005? In 2006, Horn Drill did not share his top spot. Neither did sceptilianmaster in 2007. Last year, however, the competition was tight. Although sceptilianmaster came very close to reclaiming the title, three candidates snatched the title away from him. They were Lishus13, Profesco and Tomato Jr.

If you need to learn more about this exam, have a read by clicking here.

So, what's keeping you? Use this thread to sign-up now! And guess what? Five persons have already been signed-up. They are:

1. Guraena
2. Horn Drill
3. sceptilianmaster
4. Lishus13
5. Profesco

Yes, those are the past top candidates! This means that the competition is even tighter! Here's hoping that you all prevent them from reclaiming the title ;) Sadly, Kveran and Tomato Jr. could not have accepted their reserved spaces. They can claim those spaces if they happen to return before the results are released though!


Before you sign-up...
You MUST follow the format below when you are entering. If you do not use the format, your post will simply be skipped/ignored and you will not be added to the list of candidates until you've correctly posted. Make up your mind now. If you are going to enter, please try to submit all the answers (or at the very least, half of them!). Thank you and have fun!

Username: <try to copy and paste it exactly as it is on SPPf. This is VERY important because you we will be using a case sensitive password system!>

Do you wish to sign-up for the exam: <yes or no?>

Any other comments: <your thoughts/feelings about the exam, how you hope/think you will perform.
You cannot put "No" under "Any other comments". You cannot leave it blank either. You must tell me something that relates to: your thoughts/feelings about the exam or how you hope/think you will perform
.>

This is a sign-up thread. Do NOT post anything else. Your post should only include the above information. Erik Destler will be watching you ^_^.


After you sign-up...
You will be sent a PM which will contain: your username + unique password & instructions on how + where to take the exam. If you do not receive a PM but you have been added to the list of candidates, please do not panic. Do not PM me or post here asking me if I PMed you the information. Be patient.

I will also include a PM status with the list of candidates. The PM status simply shows whether I've sent a PM to a particular candidate or not. If the PM was sent, you will be PM sent next to the candidate's name and so on.


When taking the exam...
After reading the PM I sent, you will then go to a login page. On this login page, you will see some notes. Read them carefully. You will be required to enter your username, usercode and homeboard on that login page. After entering the correct information, you will then be taken to the exampage! You will not be required to enter your username, usercode or homeboard again (because you have already logged in). Take the test and try to answer all questions. Please do not sign-up and fail to submit the test. Submit your answers when you are done!

The deadline for submission of answers is 31st July, 2009. Any answers submitted after that will not be marked.

After taking the exam...
After submitting your answers, they will be ready for marking. Marking ends on 1st August, 2009 (after the deadline). I will take one week to process the raw scores and produce the results. On 8th August, 2009 the results will be published right here on SPPf!
