[:failed] Elance quiz for freelancing

Although I am working towards an apprenticeship post the Bloc program., I thought I would try my hand at Elance. I like the idea of freelancing and wanted to see if I was getting close to a professional level.

I created an Elance account to browse the different jobs available and understand how to approach most of them as far as planning, thanks to the preferred method of leanring in Bloc (using pseudo freelance projects).

I took the Ruby on Rails test on Elance and got a 45%. To put it in persecutive, a 60% is the minimum to pass on Elance. now I do not take this as the testament of being fully freelance ready but I am pretty glad I am somewhat closer to the bottom level. They require you wait 14 days before taking the test again, so I will be looking through some of the books I have collected in order to get over the 60% mark.

If you are learning I recommend taking the test to help gauge where your learning is at, but keep in mind passing a test on a ruby doesn't necessarily make you good at it. Practicing daily is what will get you freelance ready.
