So I've been looking at getting certifications starting with PCEP-Entry level. I feel pretty confident that I am definitely beyond entry level. I mean I've written games in pygame, learned some tkinter, regex, pyautogui, and more. I've watched a few videos of what were supposedly real PCEP 30-02 tests and they were no problem. But then I started looking for free practice exams online. I even payed for one of them and its a whole different story. I mean some of the questions are easy but most of them are like designed to trick you with like a lower case 't' in True or a comma instead of a dot. Things that can just dont pop out and catch your eye. Some things like who created python and it was a multiple choice of all the same name with slightly different spellings. Or what was python named after. - The snake - Monty python -... I happened to know that one because of a book I read but I mean come on. And then there were questions asking you to do binary or hexadecimal calculations. What??? What entry level python programmer is doing that? I'll post a picture of one ridiculous question I took a screen shot of. Wasnt nearly the worst but pretty bad. So I'm just wondering like am I as bad of a programmer as these questions are making me feel like. Are these the questions that you really get on the PCEP or no. Maybe the'yre raising the bar to make sure you'll pass??? Idk

Every programmer should obviously have the numerical (Unicode) values of alphabet letters memorized, and the websites where you can look this up are completely unnecessary – sarcasm 
BTW,

Python:
abs(ord('h') - ord('z')) == 'Device Control Two'

Somebody on another forum said that you should at least know that a is 97 and work from there. And to be fair back when I was programming with BASIC, yeah I did know that and the capital A and several others but in python I am yet to have to use that lolEvery programmer should obviously have the numerical (Unicode) values of alphabet letters memorized, and the websites where you can look this up are completely unnecessary – sarcasm

Online qualifications.
Sounds like a scam.
If its not, its a tacky money grubbing exercise.
I'll give away shovels, and sell certificates that prove the holders are qualified hole diggers. For a small extra fee, people can take the ditch digging exam.
No that wouldn't work, unless I could copy shovels for no cost, like software.
