December 23, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 6 commentsI’ve always considered IT certifications as mostly worthless, but still, what this little girl accomplished is pretty amazing. This only goes to prove one thing: Anyone with an exceptional memory can succeed at those Microsoft certification exams. I wonder how she would manage to deal with real-life IT issues, such as rebuilding a corrupted Exchange database or implementing a layered security architecture?

Yeah, it is true that certification exams and real life issues are two completly diffrent worlds. However what she did at her age is quite astounding!!
I can freely say that she will be average or bellow-average in real-life situations. It might sound like a stereotype, but I know many people that study Computer Science with GPA of almost 10.00, and they don’t even know what DBMS is, or how to perform simple mathematical operation in C, etc. You are absolutely right when you say that anyone with exceptional memory can pass the MS exams.
man MCP is just the first step,
and if She Is not MCSE SO dont bother,
the test is really easy anyone can be MCP IF u have gone thru training
GPA of 10.00? Er… If straight A’s is a 4.00, how exactly does one get a 10?
FYI, Not all GPA’s are done using the “American” standard.
In Europe they range from 0-10.
That’s some awesome achievement for a 9-years-old girl. Still more and more to learn to be a real developer and long way to go.Certificate not enough.Hands-on experience is the real certificate.
p/s:please ignore my grammar. hee.
