Bryan, What if it isn't you primary job role? What about new people? What about right after a major update release and you want to learn and certify on the new version ASAP?
People study in many different ways. Some people do well by doing examples and others are good book learners. I have been using CF for 8 years and I got a 84% because I keep mixing up features from 6, 7 and 8. A lot of developers get comfortable with what works and do not use the entire language. I know that I use certain techniques over others because of peformance reasons or code complexity. The certification forces you to think of all of the functions you are not used to working with everyday. I will probably retake the test and get above 84%, but just blanketly saying what people "should" be doing is entirely subjective.
