I’ve just finished my second practice exam in preparation for the Zend Certification for PHP5. My breakdown is as follows:

  • Security - Excellent
  • OOP - Excellent
  • Design - Excellent
  • Basic Language - Excellent
  • String Manipulation and Regular Expressions - Excellent
  • Arrays - Excellent
  • XML & Web Services - Excellent
  • PHP 4/5 Differences - Excellent
  • Web Features - Pass
  • Streams and Network Programming - Pass
  • Database Access - Pass
  • Functions - Fail

My overall score for this test was Excellent! This is much improved over my first test which was still a pass. Interesting that I have jumped from an excellent to a fail forthe functions sub area. I guess I got some questions wrong this time around.

I shall continue revising and seriously consider booking the actual exam, I just need to work out when to fit it in!
