Terms and Conditions for Exams?

I have read the terms and conditions of the exam: 70-270.
I have have a son going to be 14 in 2 months. He really
likes to use computers, and I was going to buy him the
training book (exam number above).
Is it possiable for him to take the exam at age 14?

Why not? would you rather his kid go around smoking pot
and knocking up chicks? God forbid anyone learn anything
or do anything productive before college.

God forbid anyone enjoying themselves. If he wants to
start taking MCP exams, then I'm sure he'll find out for
himself - let him play football (sorry, soccer if you're
an American), go out & have some fun if he wants.

It's called balance. I'm sure nobody expects him to do
MCP exams for the rest of his life. But at 14 it is not
too early to start teaching resposibility and work/life
balance. Chrsit no wonder the kids of today are such
pussies.

It is football, just with a different set of rules.


"The story of football began sometime during the 19th century in England
when a soccer player, frustrated at using only his feet to manipulate the
ball, decided to simply pick it up and run with it. Although it was clearly
against the rules of soccer, other players soon found the new way of playing
soccer appealing and thus, the sport of rugby was born.

The new sport soon became a world-wide success that found its way into
America by the mid-1800s. Played by many northeastern colleges, it was not
long before Harvard University and Yale University met in Massachussetts in
1876 to formalize the rules to rugby that were similar to those in England.
There were differences however: instead of playing with a round ball, the
schools opted for an egg-shaped and the game's name was changed from rugby
to football. To finalize the meeting, an organization called the
Intercollegiate Football Association(IFA) was created to preside over the
Americanized sport.

Football was still mainly American rugby--much different from the popular
sport known today. Over the course of three years starting in 1880, Yale
player Walter Camp eventually convinced the IFA to change a series of rules
in football to create a game that is very similar today. For that, Camp is
considered by historians as the father of modern football. "

His dad's original post said that he was going to get him
the study guide. He didn't say anything about making him
take the exam. As far as having fun goes you're assuming
that he want's to play football, soccer, or whatever.
You're also assuming that he can't do both if he wants
to. Where do you think these kid wizards get their
knowledge? It's not by osmosis I guarantee you. They
learn and practice. I would yield to his father's
decision on this since he knows his son better than any of
us posting our opinions here. Maybe his idea of having
fun is learning about networking technology. Are you guys
really that insecure in your place in life that you would
deny a kid an opportunity to learn and grow? The kid is
just getting ready to turn 14. That means that he won't
be a threat to you for another 3 or 4 years. If his dad
thinks that he'll enjoy it my opinion is to go for it and
get him the study guide. He may become so enthralled that
he'll want to consume more knowledge about the industry.
This kid could end up being the next Bill Gates (only an
analogy). I really don't understand why some adults want
to stifle our youths. OK, I'm done.

I'll have you know my team is the most prolific scoring team ever. Yes,
that's right, the 98' Minnesota Vikings. If you missed that season, you
missed one hell of a show.

I think I went to about 6 of those home games... That was
the all time glory team. I don't care what anyone says.
They were better than the 16-0 Dolphins!!! Except for the
Denny factor.

By the way, I am going to the game tonight... I get off
work in about 40 min, going to walk down there (only 4
blocks away... right down the street on 5th street) get a
drink at the local bar (that's pub to you billy), then
head into the game... Game time is in 2 hrs, 8 min.

Although their views are all different to some extent, I
agree with all that has been said here by the likes of
Chris, Samir and Maestro. We went off topic after awhile.

I simply asked Why as a matter of curiousity since I was
struggling to conceive of any good reason. More so, one
of two things would happen - he would pass, or fail.
Remember, these exams aren't easy, even for wiz kid
geniuses. Even for adults with considerable experience.

If he was to PASS then that would likely do a lot of very
positive things for him, at least in the short term. But
it might adversely influence what he ends up doing in life
or even over the next few years. He may have ended up a
as a world's best surgeon but ends up consumed with
computers instead. You just don't know.

If he was to FAIL - what lasting, worthwhile, positive
impact what that have?

Simply, I guess I am not a big fan of making kids grow up
fast doing adult things. Let the boy play sport for
awhile.

To FAIL is to learn the lessons of life and to overcome, get up and try
again not be a quitter or a loser! Besides even with failure you keep the
knowledge and learn even more. Especially that life and tests are
gennerally not fair! So learn to rise above the failure.

haha that would make you what? 23? it shows... Now to make a more mature
(look it up in the dictionary if you dont know what it is) analysis... you
have no idea what people on here make. And if you have only been in the
business for 4 years I can GUARANTEE there are people who are making 3 - 4
times what you are making and they have been in the business almost as long
as you have been out of diapers. Never assume... it never pays
