Hopefully they'll change the questions soon.
One thing to note is that they have a large bank of questions, so you
shouldn't get the same exam if you sit it twice (some people were at the
Conference)

As an ammendment to Andrew's comment - be familiar with the majority of the
CF4.5 tags, knowing CF4 will get you by, but they do ask some CF4.5 specific
questions

Also brush up on how CFScript works - it's fairly important... oh, and
knowing HTML, JavaScript and how a website basically works is a damn good
idea <g>
> Brush up on your queries
A decent, but not amazing, knowledge of SQL is (pseudo) required, so knowing
only "SELECT * FROM TABLE" won't cut it...

Erm, I took it on 3 hours sleep over 40 hours... running on coffee, but
having sleep is a DAMN good idea <g>
Overall, know as much about CF as you can - pretty bleeding obvious, but
there were some people at the Conf who took it after using CF for only a
couple of months (from those I chatted to and what I heard), which is a very
bad idea - you can't just know the manuals parrot fashion - you MUST know
the material!
BTW, 60% isn't a difficult target to hit, it was annoying when a question
has multiple answers but the system only allows one!
