Dear Alawi, I would like to thank you for your complements on the exam. The guys that wrote it definitely did an excellent job and produced a test of the highest quality.
Your experience shows that even seasoned developers can enhance their PHP skills by studying for the exam. This is something I have heard numerous times and hope it will increase the quality of PHP development in the market.
