The study guide is basically a "how to pass the certification" book. You wouldn't be allowed to use such a book to pass your school exams, they would certainly call that cheating. I did not do any preperation for my test or use a study guide, in fact I took it with a hangover, and I still managed to pass. If you can't pass the test with your existing skills and knowledge, then what is the point in doing it?

I haven't gotten the 7 cert myself yet, but I have other things on my resume that fill that gap on my resume in terms of providing proof of my CF knowledge. I am also going to take serious issue with the concept that preparing for an exam is cheating. That is a seriously bone-headed comment. This exam is like any other exam and warrants preparation if you actually take it seriously...if you don't take it seriously, then don't prepare take your chances, but one would ask, why even bother taking it if you don't take the exam seriously enough to prepare. P.S. Back when I took the exam for 5 and 6, I used the cfexambuster and it was excellent. - Brian Rinaldi blog - http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog CF Open Source List - http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
