I gave myself a week, but that was mostly because of a reduced-price offer for tests that were scheduled within the next week. But then, I had been using CF for awhile, and mostly just needed to get a feel for the types of questions asked, and for the changes between CF5 and CFMX. I hate to say it, but how long you give yourself to study depends on how familiar you are with the material already. A good rule I've seen from every decent test prep center I've been to is to study until you can consistently score 90%+ on practice exams.
I used CF Exam Buster and was pretty happy with it. I kind of looked through the CF7 version, and the thing that stuck out in my mind was the fact that the set of test questions I saw covered very little of the major changes from MX6.1 to 7. I don't remember seeing anything on the new capabilities of CFFORM, the CFDOCUMENT tag, or the Report Builder. Maybe the evaluation question set wasn't well representative of the whole, I don't know.

So with the book ordered i was thinking of an exam date. How long did everyone else give themselves to study?? weeks, months, days??? I know its a bit of a open question as it depends on work load - im just being curious more than anything. Also has anyone used CF exam buster to study (it was there spam this morning which prompted a look around) Cheers, Andy J www.andyjarrett.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:212437 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
