[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 312532, member: 1963"] It's not just medical fields--it's all professional fields. I can go back to the eighties when I got my first Microsoft Certification in DOS (yep...it was along time ago--Windows was in the works but hadn't come out yet) The test lasted FOUR hours and only about 20 percent of testees passed on the first try. My first Windows certifications were the same, both for home users and server side users. Then...back years ago I took my first exam for the then new and blisteringly fast Windows NT system. It was more complex than it's predecessors and had a lot more network flexibilty and security. My testing for that consisted of a whole FIFTEEN questions chosen randomly from a list of available questions. If you missed a question, a different one was substituted until the max of fifteen questions had been reached. The new system of testing meant that I got those certifications without having to answer a single question on either printer sharing or security configuration. I think the test took about ten minutes. I got my new cert cards in the mail a couple of weeks later. [/QUOTE]
