My friends mug for a week and pass with no problems. Foundational exams should be easy and general but this going too far. </p> <p>I am a Texan so I'd like to correct you in that it is not the laziness of some of the test takers (i.e. us yanks) that makes the test multiple choice but the graders and the cost increases in grading the exam. Essays require people (people the graders will have to hire which equals extra costs) to read through them and a that takes lot of time. Add in the growing population of IT workers and people taking the certification and you get the fact that getting the certification requires the ITIL grading corporations to employing hundreds of essay graders and knowing if you received the certification will take weeks to months.</p> <p>This of course is no excuse for the ease of the test. Making a test easy decreases the reputation and usefulness of the certification.</p> Sat, 04 Jun 2011 23:19:18 +0000 Ben comment 8202 at http://www.itskeptic.org
