if questions are easy to look up then i don't need to memorize thrm just to pass a test. that is the whole issue with certifications.

if the learning path would be such that you work with a system until you have enough experience that you can pass the test without having to learn for it, then that would be valuable, but the problem is that the certificate does not verify your experience. it verifies that you memorized certain facts without being able to tell how you did that.
