Right guys - tomorrow once I've done my last bit of revision I'm going to sit down at my mac and take my Google exam - if I pass, I can become a qualified Google advertising professional, if I don't, I can't - so my future career depends on me passing this. :eek:

Yes I can take it again if I fail, but it's $50 a pop (managed to get this one free haha) and I don't like failing anything - I hate to be beaten! Plus passing should net me a tasty payrise, hence the other reason I'd like to pass :D

I'm the first person in my team to take it, so I have no idea what to expect and feel like a bizarre guinea pig - so positive vibes would be appreciated!

I have to go and get Trev from London, and then I'll come back and do it - so fingers crossed by early evening I'll know as they email you your result straight away.

Aaaaaaargh I hate exams :(

Good luck Azzy. Most online exams just require careful reading. Once you settle into it they are fairly easy.

Good vibes headed your way. They oughta be there about the time you get back from London.

I can wish you the very best of luck, Azz, but I'll be damned if I know what ikkle vibes are.

Sounds like they might hurt, but okay!

Have two computers going - in case you need to look up the answers on one to post the answer in the other!!!

Good luck - you will do fine.

And what is a Google advertising professional?

Arianne,

If you can jump out of an airplane, then you can pass this exam!
I've never even heard of a Google exam before. It sounds interesting.
Good luck!!! Let us know how you make out!!!
Stay away from this forum, so you can study. :)

Thanks guys - you lot are adorable :)

And foggy, I will definately steer clear of the forum tomorrow afternoon!

I can already do the rest of the stuff on the list that Eggman found - I just need to take and pass the exam so I can become qualified - I'm hoping to move to Google soon (they are quite keen and are recruiting heavily), so to be able to make the change I want, I need to score well on their exam so they know I'm not a dunce :D After all, I have the blonde thing going against me ;) , along with the age thing (being 22 IS a problem unfortunately! people think I'm too young - but hey, I can't help it!) so the more strings to my bow the better.

Time to get some kip I think... and to dream Google related things... ;)

Sorry Jack - ikkle does indeed mean "little" :eek: I didn't think I deserved "full-blown" vibes - just a few small ones being chucked my way should do the trick! :)

They do apparently prefer younger employees, however normally you need a degree - which I don't have as I couldn't be bothered to go to uni ;) So I need to rely on er charm, and um other.... stuff :)

Eeeeeeee I'm so nervous! :D
