I took the test today and got a 3.83.  I've been using RPG-IV for about 2
1/2 years, never have used prototypes or pointers etc.  I'm fairly well
pleased with my score.  It tells me I have enough smarts to know where to go
when I don't really know the answer.  That's what is important to me anyway.
I would be thrilled if I got a 4.7!

I recently took the certification test for RPG IV programmers at
BrainBench.com. I'm wondering what the members of this list think about the
test. I know some of you have taken it. Is it a good measure of a RPG IV
programmer's ability? Is it too easy?

I don't put myself in the same category as a lot of people on this list and
I passed with a 4.71 out of 5 on the first try. I feel it could be more
challenging. Don't get me wrong. I was glad to pass, but if I had the know
how that some of you do I would like a test that proves I'm ahead of the
pack.

What are your thoughts?
