Linux+ Exam

[Paul Taylor]

Thanks for the information on the Linux+ exam Kevin. I was wondering if I
wanted to take it or not.

I agree with your assessment about JCCC Business and Tech school at 87th
and Farley. Friendly atmoshphere and quick service.

> Cost was $209 (with tax), which my work payed for.  I took the exam at
> centriq university (7905 college blvd), because it is pretty close to my
> work.  I usually take exams the JCCC school for business and computing,
> so I was alittle worried that the change of atmosphere might adversely
> effect my mojo.  I would HIGHLY suggest not taking exams at this place.
> When I finally found the place (it wasn't visible at all on college, I
> had to crawl around 110th street for a while to actually find it),
> NOBODY was at the front desk.  After waiting for about 10 minutes, I
> became visibly frustrated, and noticed that the phone on the desk had an
> 'Overhead' button.  I hit button, and magically my voice was pumped
> through the whole building.  With a group of bewildered looking MCSE
> students looking on, I kindly requested that someone come to the front
> desk so that I could take my exam.  About 5 minutes later, someone
> finally showed up and led me to the proper room.  After I was finished
> with the test, I had to wait another 10 minutes for the guy to come back
> and stamp my results.  At JCCC school for business and computing,
> someone is always in the booth and service is prompt and efficient.

> Anyway, theres my rant.
