Taking the Photoshop ACE Exam

I decided that today was a good day to take an exam. I had enough sleep, ate a good breakfast and figured I was primed for being able to concentrate. DH said I should study, find some guides online, take sample tests, blah, blah, blah. I said - if I can’t pass this exam after using the program for 20 years then I’m an idiot

I called the testing center, no answer.

So, I jumped in the car and went over there. I paid my $150 and got all set up on a laptop for the test (I had to hand over my purse, first). It was hard. The questions were crazy. They were all multiple choice, all text - no screen shots or graphics at all.

It took me about 35 minutes to complete the 74 questions. I passed. It wasn’t easy. I should have at least read through the PDF from Adobe - Product Proficiency Exam Bulletin for Photoshop CS4. But, I didn’t.

I highly recommend a little studying. I know I’ll be studying for the Dreamweaver and Illustrator tests when I’m ready to take them!

Now, I can use this cool little logo everywhere!
