Exactly. A good admin knows where to find the required knowledge quickly. To do that requires either a hands on test, or something like brainbench which permits you a certain amount of time to answer each question but lets you use any websites and reference books and other things as you wish. The hands on test is probably harder to cheat on than brainbench, but much harder to administer. I think both when not cheated on are a better indicator of knowledge than paper tests like LPIC. The problem is preventing cheating, or the amount of effort required to setup the test environment I suppose. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
