    I am looking for tests

    Hello,

    I am looking for tests that check my knowladge on:

    - general programming
    - computer architecture
    - database design
    - c/c++ programming

    Where can I find such tests ? Maybe somebody have some and can share it ?

    Thanks.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    See if you can find free copies of GRE computer science practice tests. These are usually actual prior tests, since GRE makes a new test for each test date.

    I'm not sure where to get copies of old GRE tests these days. If I recall, the practice tests may have only had 20 questions, but you could get several versions of these. The actual tests were 70 questions, and sometimes older but complete tests could be found.

    Found a link that includes one full test (pdf file):

    Note that the GRE test is supposed to be difficult, since the intent is to produce scores to group higher level students. Getting a 55 out of 70 results in a "perfect" 800 for this particular test. Each test's raw scores versus GRE score is slightly different and based on actual results. Some schools only require subject tests for PhD candidates, using the general GRE tests for master's candidates.
