Thank you so very much. I really think we should put the post somewhere,like a sticky so everyone can see it.
I teach the Core Spring class for SpringSource and myself have never seen the exam, so find it difficult to answer questions on what is on the exam.
I have told people that the current version of "Spring in Action" is too dated. It mostly covers Spring from the perspective of Spring 2.0 and so much has changed from then.

Dan,
That's great to hear from someone who's been through the real test once. Do you feel ready to take the test again?

Just out of interest, I have been checking prices and schedules of Spring certification courses and you are right, they are not exactly cheap
and off goes one week of your holidays.
Does anybody know if it is worth taking that route?
What the heck can you learn within those 4 days that you cannot learn on your own or are those courses geared towards giving you the info
necessary to pass the exam which you would not normally discover on your own. From what I can gather, people spend a lot of time
doing their own research, reading, experimenting, tutorials etc and that is sufficient for I would say 60% of the exam but where people do get
caught is that additional 'I wasn't expecting that' extra so I am wandering if that is where the benefit of these courses really kicks in.
