前面有人提到过，如果正常上班，利用晚上和周末的时间学习，两个月的准备时间足够了！ 这个是客观的评价！
对于脱产准备考试的，全职学习，甚至还参加什么培训班的， 我个人觉得也得个十天半月吧！
当然，前提都是认真对待，仔细准备，静心学习。
怎么样，我说的客观么？

至于为什么大家都过了呢， 原因大家都知道，咱就不说了！何况这个考试的目的不是要把你考倒！

借贴问一下关于学校成绩单和学位证明的事。我的本科和硕士是在国内读的。成绩单需要翻译成英语吗？还有就是关于98-CS-1, 98-CS-2 and 98-CS-3这三门课，请问你们都是怎么写的课程描述。我的学校是个不出名的小学校，在学校网站上根本没有课程描述相关的内容。谢谢！
