>>At first, you'd want to agree with Walter, what if MS offered its MCP free of charge, and on the net? But it would eventually (after about 2 hours, if that) mean absolutely nothing, even those that resist the undeniablly simple ways to cheat could take it about 4 times and know all the answers anyway. Its worthless.

>Hmm, am I getting the idea that you don't think the C O N C E P T is a good one?

Jim,

Are you telling me that the only way to admin a valid test of ones
ability is to physically go to a particular testing site?

You don't think that going to that particular testing site several
times and taking the same test by the same individual increases
the chances of success?

Are there not other ways, perhaps having several versions of the same
exam, that can help to deter cheating?

Oracle offers web based and CBT training. Does this mean their
programs are no good or worthless?

Finally, does anyone know if M$ is not pursing this very idea right
now? Remember you don't always have to recoup your cost of any one
product to positively affect your business...

Just some thoughts.

Talk to you later ...
