I agree with this - the ACP is supposed to be easier than the MCP tests by
all accounts. you only need 60% to get ACP but 80% for MCP. Bear mind that
being ACP doesn't necressarily mean that you are a top CF programmer - just
shows you know a thing or two about it. You can "exam cram" and pass
easilly. I know a guy who had very little IT knowledge at all, paid a load
of money to do 6 weeks worth of courses, and then after 6 weeks took some
exams (6 in total) and became MCSE!....Now I don't care what anyone says but
I'd rather employ a guy with a couple of years experience and no
certification than someone else just because thay were MCSE.

While there's some respect going round :)
I'm from the UK and have both the BrainBench and Allaire
certification, IMHO the Allaire/Macromedia test was harder than the
BrainBench, although the BrainBench was far better in structure &
question clarity.
It's also my opinion that the ACP should be harder than it actually
was. The reasoning for this is that I managed to pass, and I don't
consider my own CF skills to be that particulary high.
When I'm looking for other ColdFusion programmer I'm trying to find
people with a higher skill set than my own, Someone with a ACP could
theoretically only be at the same level as me. (that said, we've had a
few temporary ppl here with just the BrainBench, and they were just
awful, with little to no grasp of basic programming concepts).
Perhaps they should have an advanced ACP test?
