Don't waste your time becoming Apple Certified. I have my ACSP and they couldn't even send me a certificate after passing my test. They claim they are saving paper and staying green by emailing you a PDF document with your name on it and apple log. WTF! Garbage, I will never take any Aplle cert again! They send you a link to a site which they split profits with to send you a framed copy of the cert if you want it for a rip off of a price. I have it hanging in my room on an 8 cent sheet of paper

@n1tr0g3n0x1d3 Wow. That sucks. I still want to get it though. (I want to apply at Geek squad for a part time job and it looks good) I might just get a fake one though. I already know all the stuff anyways.

[atoughpunk]

You are a fucking dumbass

[technoholic562]

@atoughpunk How so?

[therealniceink]

[technoholic562]

@therealniceink Yeah, they are questions from previous years, they recycle the questions into study guides.
