</aol> on Weeg's comment. I'm a terrible tester, but still managed to do respectably well on the cert test on my first shot. I know I tripped up on some of the more, shall we say, "circuitously presented" problems, and there's a lot of questions asking if "ArrayNew" or "NewArray" is the correct syntax, etc., but it's not a killer. I found the Brain Bench Oracle admin tests to be a lot harder, personally.
Basically, if you use CF in your everyday work and know what you're doing, you'll at least get a basic certification. And definitely try the exam buster - it'll clue you into how the test is presented and you'll be a little more comfortable with the whole thing when you take it (YMMV). - Jim Tony Weeg wrote: >how often must we re-up our cert? > >also, i used exam buster, and passed. now, im a special case as i >only got 850 on my sat's and basically 1.6'd my way through high >school :) > >i test horribly, and i passed the cfmx test. > >tw > >On 5/23/05, Matt Osbun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>That's what I used as a prep.
