<p>Here are some of the improvements I noticed:</p>
<ul>
<li>The questions now auto-complete after 3 letters.  This makes it much easier to type the answer within the time limit, and also helps make it possible to get the answer if you can come close.</li>
<li>The training team did a great job of updating the questions and answers on several of the more ambiguous questions that I submitted bug reports for.  If you notice anything else that seems incorrect, make sure to <a href="http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa">file a bug in JIRA</a>!</li>
<li>The final answers are now do-able.  Previously it was virtually impossible to enter the correct answer for the final question, but I am now able to hit it successfully on several different tracks.</li>
</ul>
<p>Kudos to <a href="http://www.javafxblog.net/">Anatoli</a>, Cindy, and the rest of the Sun training team on making some excellent updates that improve the playability and fun of the application!</p>
<p>So what is your score?  Here is the best I have gotten so far (for the GUI track):</p>
