Today, ZCPE can be anyone

Taking this opportunity, I would like to once again remind you of the existence of certification for PHP engineers. It's already 2018 in the yard and the world has seen PHP 7.2, certification is constantly being updated. Current version: ZCPE-2017. Get a certificate now, or still wait for the updated version - you decide.

Why and what is it


Without a piece of paper you are not a person, but with her ... Everything is differently shorter. This notorious phrase in places is quite applicable to the world of web development. The certificate immediately makes you more weighty whether in your own people or in the eyes of potential freelance customers. And even more so the certificate which in fact is not easy enough to get.

Certification itself covers almost all major areas required for productive development of PHP applications. The test is rather complicated and as one guy expressed at the preparatory courses I attended, “covers not so much PHP as all the bugs and oddities of this language”.

Therefore, having passed it, you can not only decorate your resume, but also get an extra reason to consider yourself a real PHP Ninja.

I will not write for a long time what it is, since there is already enough information on the Internet, for example . Instead, I would like to dwell more on the testing strategy itself.

Test structure


Let me remind you that the test consists of 70 questions, the answers to which can vary from just choosing the answer to free-form questions, where you need to enter the name of the function. All questions fall into one of the categories:


I will not remind once again the importance of preparation, but it’s important, yes. If you have the finances and desire, then purchase one of the books for preparation on the official website . There are also unofficial resources with free materials .

Cracking the test


When you find yourself in a room for testing, you are allotted 90 minutes of everything, a PC and a kilogram of excitement. To add to your confidence and help you get over your excitement, I’ll share my test passing strategies.

The secret is simple: do not dwell on difficult issues. At the end, before you submit the results for review, you can change your answers. Questions with which you have difficulty, you can directly mark an asterisk and return to them at the end.

So, we pass the test iteratively: we run for the first time and answer all the easiest questions for you, ticking the complex ones with an asterisk and leaving them last. Then we pass on the questions again, leaving quite complicated. And so we do until the questions run out, or the time of your testing.

It helped me in due time, I hope will help you too. Good luck!
