Gotchas and difficult questions:

Questions 9 and 10 seemed tricky to many students. This is a very good resource to read more about FlexBox.

Check out this link to help with question 10.

Some students have answered question 12 with {overflow: contain;}, which is NOT a valid CSS overflow property.

In general most students were able to answer questions 1 through 12 well, with some exceptions, as mentioned. Most difficulties were found on the last page (questions 13 - 20).

Question 13 is about the CSS box-shadow. A good link to help with this question can be found here.

Question 14 is about the CSS transform attribute and a good resource can be found here.

Extra credit…why is answer c not valid for question 14???

Question 18 was about the setTimeout method.

Question 19 in regards of touch events is something that will be on the exam.

Question 20 the DOM File API and what it is, can be found here.
