TestComplete certification - user feedback

Hello.



I would like to get user's feedback about the Smartbear's TestComplete certification.

I took the test two times and failed both. I am not an expert of TestComplete but I have been using it for 3 years now and I tried to take the test without the training.



Thus, I think I might miss some information especially when I see question like this : 



"You need to check a link on a web page to make sure it is a valid email address. You have decided to use a Property Checkpoint. Use a Property Checkpoint to test for a valid email address. What sould you do ? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

1. 
   Use the Matches condition on a Property Checkpoint and specify an email regular expression as the value.


2. 
   Use the Matches condition on a Property Checkpoint and specify an email regular expression as the value.


3. 
   Use the Equals condition on a Property Checkpoint and specify an email regular expression as the value.


4. 
   Use the IsPartOf (cmpIn) condition on a Property Checkpoint and specify the @ symbol as the value.

As you can see, we are supposed to select the BEST answer. I am still wondering which of the first and second answer is the best... 



I faced 3 or 4 questions like that with answers that are completely identical... 

Appart from the fact that, without taking the training, I have issue to identify the SmartBear BEST answer meaning (I am pretty sure, BEST is a subjective point of view) I am wondering if I should try a third time to take the test.



Are there other TestComplete users that took the test without the training, or am I totally insane to do so.



Regards, 

Guillaume.
