    수강일과 가장 가까운 날의 온라인 시험일로 접수했습니다.

  - 조용히 시험치려고 일부러 집근처 스터디 까페에 스터디룸 빌렸는데, 
    방음이 잘 안되서 청소기 소리부터 옆방 과외소리까지 잡음이 심하더라구요. 
    감독관이 시험취소시키면 어떡하지 긴장하며 봤습니다.

  - 180문제중에 정답을 확신했던게 3/4정도, 나머지 1/4 는 꼭 보기 두개 중에 헷갈려서 
    대충 찍고 넘어가며 한시간에 한 세트씩 푸니 마지막에 60분 남았는데, 
    너무 빨리 제출하면 안된다고 하셨던게 기억나서 40분정도 한문제씩 확인하다 나왔습니다.

4. 문제내용

  - 후기와 기출문제에서 봤던 드래그앤 드랍문제들 진짜 열심히 외웠는데,

  - 대신 답 2개, 3개 선택하는 문제가 20문제정도 나온것 같아요

    일부 덤프 답(*?)이랑 다르게 제출(*V)한것도 있긴한데,, 정답인지는 자신이 없어서 촉진자님께 맡기는것으로..

5. 기타

 - 혼자 공부하기에는 범위가 너무 커서 공부 시작할 엄두가 안났는데,
   5일동안 오프라인 강의로 강정배 촉진자님이 중요한 부분 위주로 빠르게 훑어주시니 
   전체적인 프로젝트 관리 구조에 대해서 개념이 쉽게 잡혔습니다 
   궁금한게 생길때 해당 부분 좀 더 찾아보는 정도에만 시간 투입해 효율적이었네요

 - 촉진자님 강의 덕분에 쉽게 시험 붙어서, 이제 시험에 대한 부채감은 덜고
   본격적으로 회사에서 관리중인 프로젝트에 어떻게 적용하면 좋을지 고민하고 실행하는
   실무적인 부분들만 남았습니다

 - 시험문제보다 더한 현실판 상황문제들과, 의사결정을 지원해야하는 수많은 난관들에 부닥치겠지만
   앞으로는 좀 더 체계적으로 인풋 아웃풋 관리하고! 적용할 툴들을 이전보단 잘 선택!할 수 있을 것 같습니다
   붙으면 나가는 카톡방에서는 인사드리고 나가겠지만,, 그래도 업무 조언 필요할때 한번씩 연락드려도 될..까요.??? ㅎㅎ
   5일동안 감사했습니다! 수고많으셨습니다.
