Well, today I recertified CLD again! 6 years ago I took the written test, 4 years ago I made it by points and I just got back from Pearson Vue with another successful exam result.
Those who follow my posts know why certification is beneficial to me and, perhaps something about why I post frequently.
The test still focuses upon how LabVIEW implements good design and is a deep dive knowledge check (some call it a trivia pursuit game.. I don't think that the examinee should not be able to just plain know a bit of what implements what design factors in LabVIEW )
Could it be improved? Sure. Did it test my ability to decide what pattern is needed? Yes, and quizzed me on if I knew what things to review when code is set in front of me!
I disliked some of the questions but, with a mere "seven-oh and go" that is manageable. Expect to lose some points but, don't worry about them. I didn't ace the test. But, I did have plenty of time left over to review the misses. Most were bad keys or inaccurate distractors! One was so obsolete method property I have not used in 8 years. I can live with the score.
