Apple Training Series certification exams

wkrm · Jul 5, 2006, 04:19 PM

I am in high school and just completed the Apple Computer certification book "Mac OS X Support Essientials." I want to take the exam to get my certification but I am curious just how hard the tests are. I understand everything and can answer the review questions at the end of the chapters with ease. Has anyone taken a Apple certification exam that could give me an idea of what the questions are about or how hard they are?

I thought that test was pretty easy.. especially considering I never studied, never took the course, never read the book, and I passed it with a 90%.

Ultimately, if you've studied and you've used OS X in practical situations, you shouldn't have any problems passing that exam.
Server Essentials might be a little more challenging.

How often do you have to re-take the test?

I would asume every time a new version of the software your trained on for comes out.
