It's not a walk in the park, and if you know the difference between the hard drive and the CPU you might get 10 points out of 5900. To take the exam you need to know the lengths of the cables, speeds of ram, types of CPU's, Caches, everything. Oh, and before you take the exam you have to sign a contract indicating that if you fail you wont take it out on any of the staff, and wont fuss about it(Maybe because the exams are somewhat unfair). The test cost me $240+ CDN, and thats just for 220-221
Now, given I was certified in 2000 and the tests do change, i don't remeber that nit-picky of a test. Cable lengths? Caches? Not that I can remember. Cable types, yes. Types of CPU's, totally. Speeds
