    Thanks Yash.
    Passing score is 37 out of 70. Rules you can read at http://www.magentocommerce.com/certification/

    No there are no negative marking system, but it’s recommended you answer ALL questions even if you think they are wrong.

    Result is displayed instantly after you complete your exam. And if you pass you even get the result in a stamped paper with your score. The original certificate comes from Magento Inc in 4-6 weeks. I got it in the 5th week.

  I found in one of the blog.
  “The questions of the tests are multiple-choice question with only one or more answers”.
  is this right…? :-O

  Hi, I am working on Magento from last six months and have a descent knowledge of it as already completed some projects.
  Is it true that exam contains tricky questions as well, I am not very good in remembering function names and all but good in solution finding and on demand knowledge.
  Should I take this exam, what u say??
  Hope to have some experience and expert advice from you 🙂

    Hi Nawal. It requires in-depth knowledge to pass the exam. Yes there are tricky questions, but if you have good experience and used it in your application than you can find out the correct answer(s). Choices are quite confusing. First try Study Guide, and if you think you are good in solving study guide questions, then go for it!

  Hello,

  From last 10 months i have been working in this decent platform, in one and only one community atmosphere. (I means no one have idea about this framework around my chair..(work area)). Really I love this E-commerce framework.

  Still now I have completed more than 7 projects successfully.

  And just now i have joined magento solution partner co… feeling so nice here… atleast I can see number of magento and magento+ certified intelligent peoples here…

  Now a days, i also decided to get/achieved magento certification with good score. So for that I will contact you in mind hack topics….

  And i know you would like to help me for that….:)

  In the last, nice to read your blog (its increased the confidence of people like me)

  Thanks
  Praful

    Hi Vinith. Thanks for writing. Yes two weeks is less time if you don’t have enough experience in Magento. Prepare atleast 3-4 hours everyday from “Study Guide” and watch online videos of “Fundamentals of Magento Development”. Also search on net and my blog there are many questions, answers and useful infomation which will help you crack the exam. Remember, you only need 37 correct answers out of 70 questions to get passed.

    Yes Vijaya you can take the test. Just make sure you are aware of the architecture and important functions Magento is using to execute things. Go through Study Guide and Self-assessment PDF to know how good are you to answer those questions before appearing in the exam.

  Hi Kalpesh,

    kalpesh May 21, 2013 at 8:08 am

    Hi Iyappan, You will need to first purchase a voucher for the test you want to give.

    There are 3 tests available as of now: 1.) Front End Developer Certification 2.) Magento Developer Certification 3.) Developer Plus Certification. You can purchase the voucher here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/certification/ for any test you want, and then apply that voucher to schedule a test at any test center conducting Magento tests in your city.

    If your city don’t have test-center for Magento certification exam, you may need to go to another near by city which conducts it.

    HTH

  Prashabh March 10, 2014 at 5:49 pm

  Hello,

  Exam price varies around $260.
  Both exam having same fee structure.

  To appear for an exam, you have to take voucher from Magento website (first create account) and select option during registration on Prometric (Exam center which conduct exam) website. Even you can purchase voucher directly from Prometric website also. You should appear for an exam after 24 hours of registration. You will get three attempts to appear for an exam. On first failure, 15 days waiting period to eligible for next attempt and on second failure it would be 90 days.

  Hope, this would be help for somebody!!

  Thank you.

  Hi Kalpesh,

  I have 1.21 years of experience in Magento.
  I guess I kinda knew how magento flow works, but sometime it didn’t work out.
  When u think that it happens in that way the next moment Magento turns it down.

  I am about to give Magento Dev + certification exam. Will u give me any suggestion because when u know ‘when u think u know almost everything about something you stop or neglect learning about it’. Any suggestion will be good.

  Thank You..
  Sagar

    Hi Sagar, I think you are ready for the exam when you can answer most of the questions from Study Guide. You should start evaluating it by asking yourself all the questions which Study Guide presents, and then cross-checking it with the code in the file names that it says to refer for answers. I think if you know 70% of questions then also you can pass the exam.

    Best luck!

    Hi Nidhi,
    Yes Magento Frontend Developer certification needs knowledge in HTML, CSS, Javascript and also how it is used in Magento. You should have knowledge in theming and templating in Magento. You can check certification guide for more details: https://info.magento.com/CertificationExamStudyGuide.html
