A humble suggestion

Edit Subject

First of all, a praise for such an endeavor. Kudos.

The idea is to "disable" right clicking in this website in order to check any malpractice during exams and competitions alike.

I would suggest displaying test questions as images so that it would not be possible to quickly copy the text and test it.

This particularly applies for the tests like "SQL" where standard tables in SCOTT schema are used and it is very easy to get to the correct answer if you have your SQL Plus session open connected to SCOTT schema. You can just copy the text and paste it in SQL Plus and you get the answer.

OK as I have opened this secret and few already may be knowing this, GILD may want to implement this idea and reset the test scores of all the test takers for the tests where this kind of cheat could be used.

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for the tip. I'll add that to our list of ideas we can implement for fraud detection.

Cheers,

IMO the SQL test should be listed as Oracle SQL, because it's not general SQL it's far more specific to oracle, which would have been nice to know before I took that particular test. Given I have only used very basic Oracle SQL many years ago.

I agree. The test now says, in the fine print, that it uses Oracle-specific SQL. Seems like the name should be changed to make it perfectly clear and to differentiate it from other tests.
