It is project base. You will be working in the program and submit your plan at the end.

This was the first reply I got and I replied with the format question as well, so I'll post that when I get a response again!

There is a PDF linked on the Certification Page ( and below ) but that is all the Help they will give , I inquired last year after seeing this post originally and they do not have Old Tests to Bone up on and find weak Spots etc with.

I assume that was 2003 Scott ? Not sure there were many Users in 1953   bit before I was playing with CA either Way.

Thanks!  That's quite the list for grading, but it's good to see it all broken down, thanks!  I'm guessing the test is some kind of sample build to test actual working knowledge and not just written?

Haha thanks @dshall!  Definitely one of the reasons I was thinking of taking it soon was to see what I really need to work on (not that I don't already know theres a bunch I could improve...) and then just retake the exam after a bit more practice and experience.  And ya, I don't think I'd include in a signature unless it was very specifically added to an email or two.

Does anyone know what type of exam it is or if it has different sections?  TIA!

Thanks for posting this, I haven't gotten x10 setup quite yet, but I'm stoked to give this a shot and can't wait to see what my client's think of this!
