Centrasoft recently released their new version of the CF8 Exam Buster to help those interested in studying for the Adobe ColdFusion 8 Certification.

Personally I no desire to take the exam (see my previous post from a couple years ago or Ray Camden's recent comments on the test), but Brian (Centrasoft) always does such an excellent job with his CF Exam Buster that I'd like to compare his product with that of the actual exam (Maybe Adobe should hire him in the future to write their CF exams :) ). So I've got myself a copy of the CF8 Exam Buster and as soon as I have a chance, I'm going to run through it.

Below is a copy of the press release Brian has posted. If you're looking to study for the CF8 exam, definitely consider his product (note: only runs on Windows. I installed it in VMWare Win2k3-64 and it runs great).

Question though, if Adobe is not updating the certification, did ExamBuster update their software or is it the same as before, just a new label? I own their CF MX 7 software and it was really good. So I just want to know if I should buy their new one or is the same as mine.

Adobe updated their CF8 exam (or at least the vendor they hired did) with some CF8 questions (keep in mind that they can't "just" ask CF8-only features). Read Ray's blog (link reference in blog post) for more on that topic.

Thanks for your response Jeff. I read all of Ray's post and I guess what I was commenting on, was Ray's quote of "The tests will not be rewritten for the current versions. " This is what had me questioning everything. I know you don't work for Centrasoft, but I thought you might be in the know.

Hi Mark,
Adobe ColdFusion 8 certification is definitely different than the CFMX 7.0 certification exam. Certainly there's still material from the CF4/5/6/7 days, but there are new 8.0-related features on there. I really don't understand that comment from Ray about the tests not being rewritten for the current versions. It doesn't make a lot of sense, and I think it might be taken out of context or not referenced properly.
For CF8 Exam Buster, I did a complete overhaul of the questions databank of the previous product, which explains the jump downward from 875 questions to 384 questions in the new version. I focused on quality versus quantity, and targeting just what's on the exam (i.e. no fluff or "hangover" questions from previous versions).
There is upgrade pricing (for previous customers), so I definitely think it's worth a look if you're thinking about re-upping your certification. And it really shouldn't be a financial burden on anyone, which is one of the reasons I haven't altered the pricing in almost 8 years of selling the product line.
Thanks, Brian

I took the CF MX 7 exam last year and scored 89% on that, thus certifying at "advanced" level. The CFMX 7 exam. Does the CF 8 exam(9A0-066) have a similar breakup where 70>=CERTIFIED <85 and 85>=ADVANCED CERTIED
?

Thanks for sharing information. Nowadays many of the people like to do certification to improve their career. Certification is an extra qualification for IT professionals. Online training and dump questions are available for IT certifications.
