Adobe Certification Aids

I’ve been long-contemplating the Adobe Certified Expert exam as a way to stand out from the morass of entry-level photo assistants and so-called digital retouchers (many of whom don’t seem to know what a layer is).

I’ve been dawdling for a while, and Adobe has released the CS3 suite while I weighed pros and cons, giving rise to a new set of choices. Should I take the CS2 exam, which I feel I’m ready for, or gear up for the CS3 exam? I’m tempted to do the former, and then work to familiarize myself with CS3, and take their recertification test, particularly after my father bought me Photoshop CS3: Up To Speed.

I’ve found two websites that offer what appear to be useful exam aids for someone already familiar with the program. uCertify offers both a CS2 exam and a discount on pre-orders for the CS3 “Prep Kit.” While Exam Aids offers a very similar seeming product that also appears well-designed.

The uCertify program looks like it’ll be the winner for me, primarily because of the discount I could get on the CS3 aid, doubly important as I want to take both exams.
