Didn't take either, but surveyed a half-dozen who took it at php|tek last week... My basic impression was that they threw out a lot of the "stupid" questions that relied on arcane knowledge or were just plain Bad Code of nasty loops with silly breaks etc. What got added was a lot of OOP stuff and stream stuff and... 'Course, there's more than just one "test" that they hand out, as I understand it, so there are variations to it, and I had a very very very small sample of people who I chatted with. And none of them know for sure if they passed yet or not, really. :-) I was busy both times the test was being administered, but would probably fail anyway on the new features parts. I'm pretty set in my ways... :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck.
