Look at it this way: Take the beta exam when it is offered (and I'll let you all know as soon as I am able) and if you don't pass, at least you'll have a darn good idea where you're lacking and may well pass the second time.

I'll have to look at the topics. I probably should have just done that and not asked the question. :)

I've been around, but lurking mostly. My new job has deadlines so I can't spend so much time online. I also can't figure out how to get an IRC client to work through a firewall, so that leaves me out of the chats. :(

This job is customizing SBT, which I find very limiting. It doesn't give me an opportunity to learn anything except SBT. All the Fox I am using is really basic stuff. And -- Get this -- I'm making LESS than I was before. Sigh. But I do like the company and the work environment. I went to the company picnic today and had a blast.

Well, I'm getting really off topic here... Anyway, I'll take a look at the topics and see if I have enough of a clue to bother taking it.
