I Passed!!
You’re looking at a newly Adobe Certified Expert! =D
I took the Adobe Flex 3 with AIR ACE exam this afternoon and passed with a score of 74% (you only need 67% to pass). As soon as the test results are sent to Adobe, I’ll be able to get that fancy logo added to my site. W00t!
Regarding my preparation for the test, the best thing I did, aside from my years of experience 
was to review the free documentation that comes with Flex. Basically I took the ACE exam guide, and highlighted all the terms that I needed to brush up on, and then I did a search through the Flex documentation, and read each chapter that discussed those terms (I downloaded the complete set of pdfs, and using the advanced search in Acrobat, I was able to search quickly through all the documents).
All in all I spent about 6 hours of studying, over the course of 3 days. I thought I had reviewed all the sections I needed to, until I got half-way through the test and hit the questions on accessing a local database in AIR. DOH! I forgot to review that, and sure enough, that was my worse section –> Interacting with data sources and servers 37% (oops). Luckily I did well enough on all the rest to pass the exam. Of course with only 50 questions, missing 13, gave me a 74%.
What a coincidence! I took the test on Friday the 13th, and I missed 13 questions. Who would have thought?
Anyway, I’m happy with the results, and I’m excited to get that logo on my site. Because as they say, it’s not what you know, it’s what people think you know, that matters.
But seriously, thanks for all the kind words of encouragement.
