Fair enough, but as CSS is a prerequisite of CSSS, it is implied (if you have CSSS) that you already passed CSS BlackBerry - BlackBerry Certification Program

No matter though, each to their own.

Anyone know when I should expect to learn my results from the BCX-411 exam? I completed it back in August. When I check my candidate history on the prometric site is simply says the exam status is "tested".

[misterbulldog]

I would send an email to the cert team and ask.

Sent an Email last week requesting an update on the BCX-411 Beta Exam Results and this is what I got from Courtney:

The BCX-411 beta exam remains in beta until December 31st. A that date the analysis phase will begin during which the final forms and passing score will be set. Your results will then be scored against the final forms and you will be assigned your highest score from the two forms. This process takes approximately 6-8 weeks from the close of the beta period. As you know, this beta has been in service for a number of months now as we gather in beta participants to meet the statistically significant number of results. This will allow us to ensure that the passing score is as accurate as possible in validating candidate competencies and that candidates, including beta candidates, are only scored on valid items

[misterbulldog]

Hope you guys hear something soon. I took the BCX-210 beta in May and didn't receive my score until September!

I read this whole thread multiple times and it talks most likely about the beta

Well BCP-211 is out and not beta anymore. Do you guys and gals still recommend reading Admin guide, feature and technical overview, install guide, and upgrade guide??

All those guides don't seem to fit the real description of BCP-211?? And do you think there will be books out on these tests soon?

Yes, read them all.

Is that all? No. Read every Installation and maintenance guide you can find along with all relevant KB articles and white papers.

Only RIM knows the passing grade for BCP-211.
Here's a hint though: study lots of Desktop Manager.

I have not seen any study materials other than the RIM technical documents. This is one of those situations where either you know the material or you don't. I passed most of my exams based strictly on experience. I studied the technical documents prior to taking the BCP-410 exam and passed by the skin of my teeth. Quite a few things on that exam I hand never seen or used before.

Looks like BCP-410 is gone. There was probably some redundancy between BCP-410 and BCP-610. If you really want to know what happened, send an email to the RIM certification team and ask them what happened.

[misterbulldog]

*UPDATE*

I spoke to a co-worker this morning who is planning on taking the BCP-410 exam. She said that when she called the local testing center they said the exam was available. Call your local testing center and see what they say.

Does anyone have any good pdf's or documentation on the best thing to study on the DM?

What sort of things that you hadn't seen before?

I analyzed your question and to think about it, I pretty much know everything about the DM already.

WiFi. Never had any devices in our enviroment that had it and if it did, it would have been disabled.
