Ever been to Brainbuzz.com? It's a pretty cool site. They have 'skill drills' in a whole bunch of IT related fields. After you click the skill drill you want to take it tells you that you have to sign up whcih almost takes no time at all.

I took the C++ one and got a 2.89 out of 5.0 score. Considering I'm only 2/10ths of the way through my Beginning C++ book I dind't think that was too bad. :) To get a 'Certificate' from them (which they mail you apparently) you need a 3.5 score.

Kewl! I'll try that site out... There's also another site called Brainbench which has the same features as the site you mentioned.

Just for fun... I am now "Certified" in Typing -- I wonder if this can get me a .5% increase in salary ;)
