Hi Symon,
I passed the CID exam yesterday and completed the CCDP certification. I
was just postponing the exam as i was not getting enough drive to study, but
once i booked the exam, i was under pressure (105 Pound) and successfully
completed the exam.
The questions in the exam were very generic and tricky. I thought it
would be easy from the feedback by other CCDP's but found it to be tough
(may be they have taken the feedback too....haha).
Cheers...
Vamsi
