Zend PHP 5 Certification Practice Test

Not so long ago, namely in October 2010, Zend slightly updated the certification system for PHP5 engineers. So, if earlier testing was performed according to version 5.1, now it is carried out at 5.3 (hi namespaces, late static bindings and closures). Testing topics were reorganized - instead of 12 previous ones, now there are 10. And most importantly, preparatory tests were removed from Zend Market. Previously, they could be purchased in quantities of 1, 5 or 10 pieces for relatively modest money (10 cost about $ 22). Now, instead of them, for a fairly non-sickly amount of $ 1000, you can purchase the so-called Test Prep: Zend PHP 5.3 Certification Training (preparatory online training for advanced php programmers) and a test voucher. By the way, about the voucher ... if for version 5.1 it cost $ 125, now they have raised the price to $ 195.

I put together 90 questions from one of the most preparatory tests that have now been removed from the Zend Store (PDF can be downloaded from here ) into one PDF. Perhaps it will be useful to someone. For example, to prepare for certification, or to conduct interviews ... well, or just read before bedtime :) Spelling and punctuation of questions is preserved, so that if there is a typo, then it means it was in preparatory online tests. From myself I can add that personally, I didn’t get too many questions on the final testing of questions according to version 5.3 (about 10-15 percent of the total number of questions).

And very, very recently, Zend began distributing “perpetual” developer licenses for Zend Studio and Zend Server products to all of its ZCEs. Well, by itself, all the old ZCE buns also remained, namely the profile in the Zend PHP Yellow Pages, an invitation to a special group on Linkedin and discounts on various PHP conferences.
