rp so pardon me
but IT exams? Bollocks.

Especially when you can download the cracked Prometric exe from RapidShare or somewhere equally dubious, learn the answers parrot fashion, then book an exam, and pass first time.

So of course they're totally worth every penny and a real indication of the candidates ability.

If you passed legitimately, you need them _and_ someone else paid, then fair play to you.

I've heard about this but am not sure how to proceed.
Care to enlighten me?

Going away for an intensive MS certification course next week.

more the networking exams
which went a long way to explaining the influx of Cisco experts in the market.

In fairness the MS exams always looked to be hands-on rather than multiple choice affairs.

Can you imagine if the CORGI exam or similar was done the same way? Fuck me, CO poisoning would be the new in-thing.

I once
had an interview for a job where I had to sit an exam as part of the interview process (one day interview, one day exam).

Any question I didn't know the answer to, I Googled it.
There also was a huge chunk of pseudo-code that was given to you (as a .gif file) and you had to write down the values of the variables at the end of the code.
I opened up notepad, converted it to vbscript and had it messagebox me the values of the variables.

Sadly, I do know what I'm doing, but I wasn't going to sit there and work it out when I had a bloody great calculator/huge encyclopedia sitting on the desk next to me was I?

Pissed it, and got the job.
