I'm an SAP Certified Consultant

Once again, I seem to have neglected my blog. I remember reading somewhere that the age of a blog is directly correlated to the frequency of posts in many cases.

I’ve started a couple of new trends this week, mostly because I have a little more time to spare, so hopefully updating this blog more often will be one of them! The last time you heard from me I was about to write my SAP certification exam.

I passed the exam with an 80% (70 is required to pass). The highest mark in the class even with lots of experience was 86! When I reported back to the partners in the office it seems they were all certain that I would pass with honors…scary!! I’m glad I didn’t get back and have to say: “Ummm…I got a 71!”. The instructor watched as I clicked the submit button and he saw the mark. He leaned over and said: “Hey man, it’s AWESOME that you got an 80, but dammit all you needed was a 70 and that would have been just fine too!”

If an exam is supposed to take 3 hours, I usually don’t take more than 1.5 or 2 (MAX!). Prior to the exam, I was even joking around with the receptionists about how it took me less than 10 minutes to finish my final university exam. Update on that entry: I did get more than 22 correct! Anyway, this exam took me almost 2 hours 45 mins!! I was watching the timer and to be honest it took me about 5 mins before I had the guts to click the submit button…before I left Montreal someone said: “It’s not like you’re going to get fired if you don’t pass, but it’s pretty damn embarrassing to come back to the office and have to tell everyone you failed!”

I was thrilled that I passed and now I’m waiting to get staffed on a project that will put these new skills to good use!
