RE: Re[1]: OCP question from Boson practice tests

Yes, I was the one. I was just wondering whether the OCP performance exam was really as bad as it used to be. I haven't seen it since whatever the things were called back in the early 90s. From some of what I've seen here, the answer is that yes it is the same. Not just philosophically the same, but probably some of the same release 7 questions are still on the test.

Wasn't it you, Cary, who got tought by his parents that every question has
two answers: The right one and the one the teacher wants to hear? And you
had to learn them both?

That's merely what OCP is about, I think. Get a certificate to get hired,
and get the proper knowledge to remain hired ;-)
