>>I would say that you have to be a professional, moderately skilled and "intuitive" VFP developer. After all, you gain the title "Microsoft Certified Developer" if you pass. 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.

Well, "syntax" was bad wording on my part. What I meant more was to ask if the test was just on VFP alone and not on using VFP with other tools. But I'll look at the topics and figure it out for myself. :)
