		<description><![CDATA[Today I paid the $150 and took the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_certification.html">Flex 2 certification test.</a>  I passed and am now an ACP - Adobe Certified Professional  (add that to my Flash MX 2004 Certified Developer, MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) and MOUS (Microsoft Office User Specialist) certifications).

Overall I found the test to be challenging.  I wouldn't take it without sufficient preparation.  Here are my Flex 2 study preparation tips:
<ol>
	<li><a href="http://www.pxldesigns.com/attest/">Attest</a> - provides practice tests and quizzes.  Some questions on the official test came from the questions found on these practice tests.</li>
	<li><a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/promoSignupForm.asp?promo=IDSecrets&#038;plog={A9B78EDE-66AE-4B0A-AD80-64B549E88580}">Lynda Free 7 Day Trial</a></li>
	<li><a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=335">Flex 2 Advanced: Using Data Services </a>- a must because the average flex developer hasn't used RemoteObjects or WebServices very much and the test is roughly 30% on these topics.</li>
	<li><a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=290">Flex 2 Beyond the Basics</a> - great review of advanced flex topics.</li>
	<li><a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=248">Flex 2 Essential Training</a> - great review of basic flex topics.</li>
</ol>

Obviously use the flex documentation as a reference over concepts that you are unfamiliar with.

Topics founds on the test that I rarely used include: IViewCursor, Flex Data Services.

Good luck. <a href="http://www.bradywhite.net/2008/08/08/flex-2-adobe-certified-professional-study-tips/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
