omg, I can't belive I even sweated that one! One of the easyest tests yet! So what now? Does RIM send me something?

ODub · 08-21-2008, 04:48 AM

Yep, after a few days RIM sends a thank for taking exam e-mail, then after a week or so, the send you a thank you half price voucher, then after X months...when they decide which questions & answers will be used, they mark your exam again and...presto...well not really presto coz they take ages. but yeah, that's the process after taking exam.

I was finally ready to take the BCX-211 BlackBerry Certified Support Specialist exam and now itxxx8217;s not offered any more. Any have any news on this? Are they just revising the exam or is it gone?

danedel · 08-21-2008, 10:32 AM

The test I took was the BCP-410. It is/was the official test that RIM publishes. 65 questions.

So how long does it take to get your test results from the beta exam? Months? I just took BCX-411.

Tonhal · 08-25-2008, 09:20 AM

Hi All,

I will take BCX411 on 13 Sept and will share the experience about it

Thanks for all the comments about the exams, I found them very useful. If you have any plus comments or advises about this exam I would appreciate it.

- Bonus question: I have an open thread here called "Move Users between servers in different Domino domain" (sorry I am new here, no right to put link into my post..)

I am curious about your opinion on it, especially for those who already passed this exam

8-12 weeks... just set your expectations for 3 months

jibi · 09-04-2008, 11:05 PM

...speaking of, anyone received their results for the BCX-610? It's getting about that time, no?

NThinAir · 09-05-2008, 01:38 PM

I took it on 6/27 and I'm still waiting.

Hmm. I still haven't received that. Sigh. Someone email Wendy (or whatever her name is) and see about when we should expect our BCX-610 results

Frank Castle · 09-08-2008, 07:02 PM

Nice envelope in my mail bin today. Opened to find the "official" certification. Looks nifty on my desk.

Jibi - it's Courtney .. I remember all the hotties

jibi · 09-08-2008, 09:44 PM

Hrm, I think our mail delivery people just suck

Too many darn x-ray machines it has to go through... pfft. Oh yeah, Courtney. Someone email Courtney

(I think I thought of 'Wendy' because of the red hair... LOL!)

Jadey · 09-12-2008, 12:51 PM

Just a heads up to the people asking about how long for results.... I took:

BCX-212: Supporting BlackBerry Enterprise Server/IBM Lotus Domino: 4th June
BCX-211: Supporting BlackBerry Devices in an Enterprise Environment: 3rd July
BCX-411: Maintaining BlackBerry Enterprise Server/IBM Lotus Domino: 12th Sept

So far, no results. Every time I have booked the exam on pretty much the last day of the Beta, and then RIM extended the testing period. My boss keeps asking me how I did - I wish I knew!!

TNT BERRY TEK · 09-12-2008, 01:55 PM

Any one know when prometric will get the BCX-211: Supporting BlackBerry Devices in an Enterprise Environment: test back???

Jadey · 09-12-2008, 01:56 PM

No!
The Beta has likely finished, thus why you can't book it. However, as the Beta takers have not had any results back for 211, we can safely assume that the "final" exam is not ready.

Not really too much point pushing for a timeline on these Betas, it will only change/extend anyway

--------------------

Update: After it's extension, the Beta for 211 ended on August 1st. RIM said beta results would be out about 8 weeks after this, so I think realistically the "final" exam will be October at the earliest...

Tonhal · 09-15-2008, 05:48 AM

Hi All,

I have finally finished BCX411. A few hours after the exam, I got an email from the program team that BCX-411 and 611 beta period is extended until October 31th. So, anyone who may thought about trying this, have a little more time

However they also stated that the exam results will be available only 6-8 weeks after the beta period end...means that I can probably put it under the christmas tree :(

Anyway, the exam was not as difficult as I first guessed (which not necessarily means that I passed it...).

A few points which were in focus:
- removed -

Jadey · 09-15-2008, 07:02 AM

Tonhal, I'd be careful about the level of detail you post on this site. You signed an NDA with RIM when sitting the exam, you're not really meant to discuss what types of questions are on there... Particularly your line about "-Process flow on BES" - you give (IMO) the entire question away. Not good, really...

Tonhal · 09-15-2008, 07:56 AM

Ok Jadey, I removed it.
I just didn't want to read that through

However 90% of the content was collected from this topic, just in a little bit more organized structure...

Jadey · 09-22-2008, 09:43 AM

Woo! Just got my results back for BCX-211, 74% so a pass.
I think that makes me a BlackBerry® Certified Support Specialist now. Ooh, shiny.
