Cost of Certifications
Over the weekend I did some research to find a local testing center and the cost per test. I had tested with Pearson Vue (www.pearsonvue.com) in Houston, TX in 2007 so I thought I would start there. It had been some time since I had last logged on to my account. After a speaking with Customer Service and proving to them who I was, I was able to log in to my account. It is only through your account can you see the courses available to you and the cost per test.
Well Christmas came early this year. I forgot that I took and passed by BOCP – CR XI certification back in 2007. This was an event full time in my life, traveling 5 days a week for work, taking exams, getting ready to move, etc. So I have taken and passed RDCR201 and RDCR301 which are the two tests that I wanted to BLOG about first. All I have to do now is take the RDCR08401 to update to CR 2008 certified and of course will BLOG about that.

Hi,
I wanted to ask if the questions in the exams are multiple-choice? Or do you have to write out the answers by yourself?

The CRCP certification is for version 10. I would recommend that you invest in Crystal Reports 2008. I am not sure if Mrs. Harper has another book out specific to CR 2008 testing. The other Author you might want to check out is George Peck. He has written several reference books and is a good friend of mine that I met through ASUG.

The test is a multiple choice and it is timed. You have two minutes per question to read and answer. While taking the test you can skip the question if the answer is not coming to you right away. You can then go back and review the questions you did not answer. I found that there was plenty of time to answer all the questions and then quickly review the ones where I wasn’t exactly sure I had answered it correctly. Best of luck.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I am newbie to Crystal Reports and I am interested in getting certified on the CR 2008 product. Do you recommend that I buy the same books that you reference in your blog posts below or should I waited until more updated materials become available for the 2008 product? In the meantime I have the CR for Dummies book that I working through.
