It just shows that all the outrageous conspiracy theories that were pushed in movies like Zeitgeist, Zeitgeist Addendum, End Game and others are probably mostly real.
After 8 years of presidency, George W Bush was able to bring USA into crisis, 2 never-ending wars, the World into recession and crisis, Bin Laden free and well and a whole bunch of other out-crying problems.
I have to say I am not an expert in all areas covered by the ZCE exam, but I manage very well in all of them.
The Practice Exam Pack did help me in getting in the state of mind needed for the exam. Also I came across a few things which I would have missed in the real exam, had it not been for a few tricky / theoretical questions.
The problem is that these practice tests are not enough to prepare you for the real exam. I found a few tricky questions including printf parameters and SoapClient / SoapServer usage that were not in the Practice Tests, but I also observed that the XML coverage is emphasized in the PHPArch Practice Tests.
I learned some things I didn’t know in PHP after reading the Study Guide and I recommend reading it as it is a very good book even if you are not preparing for the ZCE exam.
Overall it was not the hardest exam I took and I managed to finish the whole 70 questions (plus review them) in around 1 hour more or less.
I do not know how the ZCE Certification will help my career, but I am happy and proud to be a member of the ZCE Group and I am the 29th certified ZCE in Romania. I am also the second Romanian person to obtain the ZCE in 2009, followed only after a few hours later by Ionut Voda.
If you’re a Romanian from Bucharest, Romania (or just passing by) I strongly recommend Provision Security Training as they were very professional and the process of getting Zend Certified was as simple as possible !
If you have any questions about the ZCE exam or anything PHP related, post them in the comments section and I will try to answer them the best I can !
Good luck if you’re preparing to apply for the ZCE exam !
