I can’t say when you’re ready. If you’re getting excellent scores and you feel confident on all topics then by all means take the exam. Good luck!

Hi Žilvinas Šaltys,

Congratulations for getting Certified.

Recently, I have passed 4 Mock exams and I got Excellent in all of them, so in your point of view, should I reveal the challenge and pass the real Exam soon?

Thanks for reading and replying

I took the exam earlier this year and didn’t find it to be too difficult. I thought the “tricks” you mentioned should be there. The exam simulated real-life examples, like forgetting an echo statement, and trying to diagnose those issues.

I prepared for the exam for about a month during my lunch breaks. I don’t work primarily with PHP (I do C# at work in a Microsoft environment) but all of my home and side projects are PHP based (it’s my first live.)

Glad to hear you got it though. I got mine on my first try as well, after taking a few of the mock exams.

One thing I’d suggest for people taking this exam: When you’re doing the mock exams, copy and paste the questions and ansers into a word document. You can then use that as a study guide afterwards. Most of what I learned about PHP was through the mock exams that I took, along with the 2 certification books (the Zend one, and the php|Architects one.)

Interesting!!

I did my first try at december also and i failed..
and you are right.. that exam is not hard, is tricky!!

so, if someone is codifing on php, is not that much
important to know everything about it… “just when and why can happend the things: outputs, errors, etc..!

Congrats man!..
in less than 1 week i’ll try again the exam.
i hope can pass it this time.

See you!

It’s nice to see that someone from Zend have read this. I hope it will be of any value to you guys.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m forwarding this on to our training coordinator- hopefully she will be able to address some of these issues.
