Does anyone has anymore info on it ?

No exams will be cancelled. They are thinking about alternative methods of gettting credit for certain of the preliminary exsams. One proposal is to have certain colleges, who become accredited to do so, teach courses corresponding to some of the multiple choice exams and if the student gets a high enough grade in the course, they will receive credit for the exam. This would not be implemented until at least two more years. Criteria for these course will be strict - a lot stricter in my opinion - than for the VEE courses.

But the traditional exams will reamian as an option.

This is just in the beginning stages of discussion.

In a post in 2008, Mary Hardy said that the passing mark would probably be 75 or 80. So nothing too strict, really.

Iam sure about one thing : in this world we need many organisations like SOA.
