Gunderloy: Microsoft will soon be
adding
performance-based testing to their certification exams. I personally feel
like this is a good move on Microsoft's part to try and enhance the validity of
their exams. The 2003 exams will be the first to be converted, so look for new
items in these exams by March 31. It looks like they'll be rolling this feature
out to the rest of the exams by the end of the year. I don't think this should
affect anyone who's actually familiar with the technology being tested. The
exams will still be delivered at
Prometric
and
Vue testing centers. Check out the
Microsoft
Q&A for more details.
