This puzzles me, > because this exam isn't beta any more? No, it's not. And don't worry, that's just some standard verbiage from the test center. If your score report says "passed", you've passed -- and you will receive your certificate in due time. > Studying for and taking the exam was a good excercise and I'm glad I > did.

Yes, many candidates are surprised at the high level of the exam; both the knowledge/skill required and the amount of information covered in the Core exam are quite extensive, despite this being our first level exam. "I learned things I didn't know about MySQL while studying" is a comment we often hear -- which makes me and others here happy, as this is of course one of the main ideas behind having a certification program in the first place.
