[Amelium]

Edit: This post is no longer accurate for my trials, for updated info check this post

Here are some example trial questions

It is unlikely that these exact questions are asked, do not simply memorize these questions if you hope to pass.

Here is how my trial usually goes:

My trials are a maximum of 45mins, and there are three phases:

1. Preliminary Questions
   In this section, the Testificate is asked questions on base conversions, bit-wise operations, and any circuit in the link below. (from Logic Circuits down). Usually five questions
   Redstone circuits – Minecraft Wiki
2. Build Phase
   Testificates build their circuit as specified in the application.
3. Trial Questions
   I ask some questions to evaluate the Testificate’s understanding of their circuit. They may be asked to describe what certain parts do.
