Comments on: A Minor Rant About The ColdFusion 8 Developer Exam http://www.simonwhatley.co.uk/a-minor-rant-about-the-coldfusion-8-developer-exam The opposite of every great idea is another great idea Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:04:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Scott Bennett http://www.simonwhatley.co.uk/a-minor-rant-about-the-coldfusion-8-developer-exam#comment-4135 Scott Bennett Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:44:28 +0000 http://www.simonwhatley.co.uk/?p=586#comment-4135 I'm in exactly the same position. I really need to re-take the exam too as I haven't done it since I got Advanced Certified in ColdFusion 5 back in Feb 2002. The study guide was instrumental in my success with that exam and I would definitely be loathe to attempt the CF8 exam without an updated study guide. I’m in exactly the same position.

I do not think it should be taken in it's current state. It is not quite as bad as I remember it from the review, but I cannot recommend someone pay for this test unless they have to for a good job. I can stand on my high horse all day and say what I want, but don't be stupid. If you need the certification to pass, then take it. But outside of that, I'm suggesting folks avoid the test." According to Ray Camden, the CF 8 exam is really, really bad.
