I took this test for fun. Despite being pretty easy, the silly part is that many of the answers are wrong, so I found myself guessing at what the person who wrote the test must have been thinking. Even basic things like how find_all won’t work anymore aren’t considered, etc.

Additionally, most of the questions could be responded to with ‘it depends.’ Like, well, if you have a named scope then that would work, or well the code you’re showing me would give an error, but that’s not an option, so I guess I just guess at what you mean.

Whoever wrote the test did not understand some things about active record, as well.

    Haha, I did the same test (some time ago, and now again), and I get the same score as you, and was also left wondering what they were thinking.
