I don't know of any written ones, but perhaps if you contact Brainbench you
can use theirs in a printed fashion? They offer certifications one of which
is CF 4.5 so that in a written form might do the trick. Another site to look
at is http://www.cfcertification.com/
I've never been through it but I know they have some samples and what not.
Another option you might consider is a Technical Interview, I've been
through a few of them and as long as the interviewer know his stuff he'll be
able to talk to the candidate and see what he/she knows, in a much less
threatening way than a closed room test.
Unfortunately both methods are not overly effective. I personally am a
terrible test taker, it's just not in me, I also refuse to take knowledge
tests like techcheck and what not, they merely gage an individuals ability
to 1. take tests, and 2. retain information. I also hold dear, a quote I
once heard from I believe Einstein, "I don't keep things in my head, that
can be readily found in a book"
Whenever I'm developing I am always within arms reach of my CF and SQL
books. I'm sure there are those out there that have memorized every SQL and
CF function available, I have no problems looking them up :-)
That probably doesn't help much but hopefully there is a take away from it
somewhere inside.
