As soon as a sufficient candidate volume has been reached, the final score audits will be conducted and the passing score shall be set.
Once the above occurs, your official Technical/Software Support Staff Exam Score Report will be mailed to your attention.
Ugh. At least my employer is going to give me my raise when I get my grade from the class... passing the exam was not a prerequisite for the $$$... unfortunately I have to wait for dum-dum Professor T1 to post the scores, so I might actually have my certification results before I have my grades.
I am going to make myself an omelette now and sulk.
Suddenly my job doesn't look that easy, does it?

iney 2 kids, you'd think your job was easy!!!!iney 2 kids, you'd think your job was easy!!!!We thank the heavens daily that our kids are "only" annoying and difficult and sometimes really really really offensive. DH had a client in the office the other day who was telling him about going through the Make a Wish Foundation options with her 18 yr old who has cystic fibrosis and isn't expected to live much longer. Suddenly, the boys became much easier to handle.
btw, nice Back 2 School countdown

Certs in general are such a scam. Give me a good honest mob boss who I can just hand a paper lunch bag full of money any day. Making me jump through all of these hoops to "prove" I know how to be a server admin, or do desktop support, or configure a router, or implement an Electronic Health Records system... it's bullshit IMO. The sheer volume of paper MCSEs ought to tell you that. And I know more than a few guys who are freakin' wizards in the real world but can't pass a test to save their lives. It's not any kind of accurate measure of knowledge or ability, it's just another way to generate revenue and give HR people something to look for on resumes.
A network admin once accidentally deleted my development database. He's now a certified professional, and working at Microsoft. Too many certs on a resume is a huge red flag to me at this point.

The test has like a 60% fail rate...but the guys that pass it are either really smart...or can study for a test...or really lucky at taking a test.
Some of the dumb ass stuff they suggest or put into a scope of work is just laughable...a lot of times they have no practical experience what so ever...and I think this is pretty damn similar to your rant.
