Certified Flex head

On a whim, I took the Adobe Flex 2 certification exam this morning and passed, weee! :)

I've been living in Flex for the past year or so and I'd been thinking about it so I checked out the practice test at the end of the official exam guide last night, and that was the final push. Signed up with PearsonVUE, dropped the $150 (which is not that much now that the dollar is under NOK 5, WTF?) and that was that.

The Java related questions took longer to answer since I only have experience integrating Flex apps with AMF and XML-based services so far, but it was ok all in all. Once you're familiar with a few of the APIs you kinda know the structure of things. So playing with Flex and reading its Bible seemed to be enough, which was the same strategy I followed for the Flash exam two years ago.

One thing I found curious, since English isn't the official language in Norway you get an extra 30 minutes to complete the exam. Tanks!
