Note that according to the STC's website "Certification will be based on assessing portfolios and work artifacts, not examinations. (In other words, there are no tests.)"

This isn't to say that the evaluation of portfolios won't be subject to the same motivations and pressures, but nobody is talking about "sit-down tests".
