your day-to-day work is the *course* that precedes the exam. That is where you
learn new things (hopefully), the exam is just a means to check whether you paid
attention or were more busy looking at the girls (or boys). Not too different
from school or university really. In addition to being useful for headhunters
and for yourself when you apply for a job, the exam result also tells your
employer whether the days spent at the course site should be booked as work time
or holidays.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>In general, the exam is
written by a technical writer who has no clue about SAP or Workflow. The exam is
based on contents from the material (binders) from the TAWF course. There are
errors in that material, and they happen to be in the exam too. You can explain
your answers all you want on the blank piece of paper provided, no one ever
reads it.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>You will gain from the course, but
nothing from passing the exam except maybe boosting your ego. In my class there
was one person who had been a Workflow admin for 4 years, barely passed. She got
72. Another guy got 71. This was out of a class of 10.</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Also, I did mention this to Alan Rickayzen before, that the
content of the exam does not seem to be checked by experts or audited. The
results are based exclusively from the computerized answers. Too bad no one ever
reads the explanation offered in the pieces of paper.<BR></FONT><FONT
