This Idea is excellent! But as the volume of candidates appearing for exams increase it becomes difficult to find people to value those answers. Moreover valuation cost takes a long time and in worse cases this can result in delay of results too. For advanced certification where there will be fewer candidates appearing this may be included along with LAB exams somewhat like the RHCE. kind regards Siju _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
