Well, I passed WSV1 and procured my CIW Web Design Specialist certification. When I finished the exam I wondered whether or not I had passed but fortunately I rec'd a 91%, which felt great. The actual exam was worded much more ambiguously, in my opinion, than any of the practice exams I had used to prepare.
The day was tricky, because I had come from several hours away, so I showed up quite early just in case. When I arrived at the testing center I was told that 3 of the 5 machines the facility used exclusively for Pearson VUE testing were down. The proctors felt that as long as they didn't log those machines out, I "should" be able to test.
I informed them that I had come from 5 hours North and the look on their face didn't inspire confidence. However they put me in the brake room with tea, coffee and candy and I simply went over the exam guide. I tested an hour late but it worked out; I was able to complete a surface reading of the entire guide and I truly think that helped.
The staff at the facility were true professionals and down to Earth. Since my sister lives 20 minutes away I think I've found a good place for future tests.
On to Project+!
