Of course, in today's market, you don't need certification. But with certificatinom, not only do you get to put MCSD after your name, but you can charge more money (isn't that the real goal?) and become a more well-rounded programmer at the same time.

Some of us focus on different areas of VB, but studying for the exam forces us to learn all aspects of VB, not just calling a couple fancy APIs....

You won't know how ignorant you are until you take a practice exam and miss a few questions, and then ask yourself, "How did I end up getting a 66% when I should have aced it??"

Certification means you know your ALL your stuff, not just how to make 2/3rds of a window disappear and float around the screen inverted while playing 3 different MP3 files in the background simultaneously.....
