Sample Entrance Exam
Word Police exams consist of questions similar to the ones below. Here beneath each question we've told you which answer is correct, and explained why.
When you are taking an actual exam, once you've answered all five questions, press the "Submit answers" button to have your responses scored. If you're not sure of the answer to any question, why not take your best guess? (No points are deducted for wrong answers.) You'll need to get at least four answers right to be allowed to proceed. On the next page, you will be asked a final question that you must answer correctly in order to pass the exam.
The actual exams provide a clue about the intent of the questions that isn't available here -- namely, that each of them is the test for a particular squad or division. The questions on the entrance test for any given squad will have to do with that squad's specialty. So, for example, on the entrance test for the Number Unit, the focus of the questions will tend to be grammatical number (say, "the Word Police is ..." or "the Word Police are ..."?).

As a licensed Professional Engineer, or PE, you can expect many more benefits when compared to other engineers; most employers offer higher salaries and greater opportunities for advancement to PE's. Only PE's can consult in private practice, and seal company documents to be sent to the government. PEs also have more credibility as expert witnesses in court than most engineers.
Steps in obtaining a PE license:
- Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam.
- Graduate with a bachelor's degree from an ABET accredited engineering curriculum (all Engineering curricula at Michigan Tech except Robotics Engineering).
- Gain four years of engineering experience under the supervision of a registered professional engineer.
- Pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam.
During your senior year you should take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, which is required prior to sitting for the Professional Engineers (PE) Exam. Some requirements vary by state.

Today’s organizations are looking for better ways to pull the information they need from massive volumes of data available to them. Big data system administrators store, manage and transfer large sets of data, making them amenable to analysis. Data analytics is the practice of examining the raw data to identify patterns and draw conclusions. Business intelligence involves the collection and organization of information to report on business activities, often pulling data from those very sets.
Along with the surge in big data interest comes a growing number of certifications to recognize the necessary skills in working with enormous data sets. The target audience is IT professionals with a background in analytics, data mining, business intelligence or data management, along with a knack for and interest in mathematics and statistics. Big data engineers are in reasonably high demand and usually command salaries of $101,000 or more, where data scientists average about $128,500 in salary.
We took a detailed look at certifications from INFORMS, Microsoft, MongoDB, Oracle and SAS. Check out the results from our informal search of various job boards to see which certifications employers really want. However, these results are a snapshot from a specific day, time and geography, so they may not reflect actual job demands in your locality when you search for yourself.

CAP: Certified Analytics Professional
INFORMS is a membership-based association aimed at practitioners, researchers and instructors in analytics, as well as operations research and management sciences. The association reports about 12,500 members from nearly 90 countries, most of whom participate in various educational and networking opportunities via their INFORMS membership.
The organization also sponsors the vendor-neutral Certified Analytics Professional (CAP) certification. CAP focuses on seven domains of the analytics process:
- Business problem framing
- Analytics problem framing
- Data
- Methodology selection
- Model building
- Deployment
- Model lifecycle management
Candidates must meet rigorous education and experience requirements, obtain confirmation from a supervisor (current or former) of acceptable soft skills, agree to a code of ethics, and pass one computer-based exam.
This credential must be renewed every three years by earning 30 professional development units (PDUs). INFORMS also requires a $100 annual maintenance fee beginning in the fourth year after certification.

MongoDB NoSQL certifications
MongoDB is both an open-source, NoSQL document-oriented database and the name of the company providing that technology. Because of its document-oriented NoSQL model, MongoDB is well suited for managing large amounts of loosely structured data, as is so often the case in big data projects.
MongoDB was deemed a leader in Forrester Wave: Big Data NoSQL, Q3 2016, and Gartner selected MongoDB as a challenger in its 2016 Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems. The database ranks fifth in overall database engine popularity as of March 2019.
The MongoDB NoSQL certification program recognizes developers and operations professionals who can create and run applications on MongoDB. The program offers two associate-level credentials: MongoDB Certified DBA and MongoDB Certified Developer. The company plans to eventually roll out higher-level certifications. The current exams are based on MongoDB V4.0.
MongoDB offers private, instructor-led classroom training as well as free online video training through MongoDB University. Each online course typically runs for 3-7 weeks and features video lectures, quizzes, weekly assignments, and a final test or project. Students may use the forums to interact and address each other’s questions; instructors and teaching assistants monitor forums and jump in when needed.
For database professionals interested in venturing into big data projects and NoSQL databases, the MongoDB certification is certainly a worthwhile goal.

Oracle Business Intelligence certification
Oracle has one of the largest certification programs in the world, and it has granted more than 1 million Oracle and Sun certifications.
Oracle offers its Business Intelligence (BI) certifications across several applications and platforms, such as Business Intelligence Applications 7 for CRM, Business Intelligence Applications 7 for ERP, and Business Intelligence Foundation 11g. To narrow down the field, we focused on the Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite 11g Certified Implementation Specialist credential.
Candidates for this certification are intermediate-level professionals (architects, analysts, developers and administrators) who work with Oracle Business Intelligence Suite solutions, performing tasks such as installing, building, querying, configuring, and managing the platform and BI dashboards.
Although anyone can attempt the exam, the certification is designed for members of the Oracle Partner Network who sell and deploy the technology.
New exams and training courses based on Oracle BI 12c are also becoming available as those courses and exams are released to the public.

SAS Certified Data Scientist
SAS is a multibillion-dollar global corporation that specializes in business analytics software and services. The company’s well-honed certification program offers nine credentials across programming, information and data management, advanced analytics, and business intelligence.
Three noteworthy SAS certifications are the SAS Certified Data Scientist, SAS Certified Statistical Business Analyst Using SAS 9: Regression and Modeling, Business Intelligence Content Developer for SAS 9, and SAS Certified Big Data Professional Using SAS 9. We concentrated on the SAS Certified Data Scientist Using SAS 9.
Candidates for the Data Scientist certification should have in-depth knowledge of and skills in manipulating big data using SAS and open-source tools, using complex machine learning models, making business recommendations, and deploying models. Candidates must pass five exams to earn the SAS Certified Data Scientist credential.
SAS doesn’t require candidates to take certification courses as a prerequisite for exams, but the company offers an official curriculum for those who have the budget and need the extra preparation.
SAS “versioned” credentials, such as the SAS Certified Data Scientist Using SAS 9, do not expire. However, SAS may retire exams as new or enhanced software is released.

Beyond the top 5: More big data certifications
It was a real challenge to whittle down this year’s list of popular big data certifications. The Cloudera Certified Professional Data Engineer (CCP Data Engineer) missed a spot in the top five by a small margin. The company also offers CCA Spark and Hadoop Developer and CCA Data Analyst certifications. Given the company’s leadership status in software and services based on Hadoop, the CCP Data Engineer certification is worth your consideration.
Other notable certifications include the IBM Certified Data Architect, the EMC: Data Science (EMCDS), and those from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Hortonworks, MapR and Teradata.
Check out Stanford’s Data Mining and Applications graduate certificate. Although it’s not a vendor-neutral or vendor-specific certification (it’s a college certificate), TechExams forum members like it in terms of popularity and job prospects. The certificate requires completion of three courses (nine college units) at a cost of $11,340 to $12,600. The Microsoft Professional Program (MPP) currently offers four tracks for online education with course completion certificates, including two relevant tracks: one on data science, the other on big data. These are worth checking out as well, and significantly cheaper than the Stanford certificate program.
There are many more. A quick Google search every month or two should reveal a growing list of big data, data analytics and BI certifications, and we think one or more of these is a smart way to spend your certification dollars.

Q: For a year, my boss at work was harassing me. It got so bad that I filed a police report. Now I have a lawsuit against him and the company. They have demanded a mental exam. Isn’t that just more harassment?
T.B., Chino Hills
A: The California statute on point provides that a mental examination of a party may be ordered when his or her mental condition is placed in controversy in a civil case [CCP Section 2032.020(a)]. Unless the parties agree, leave of court is required to request such an exam, and there has to be a showing of good cause [CCP Sections 2032.310(a) and 320(a)]. Good cause may well be found if you have said that as a result, you suffered mental anguish and/or emotional distress. In sum, if you put your mental state into issue, you may well have to undergo the exam.
Hence, my thought is that you sit down with your lawyer and discuss what it means to have a mental test by the other side. Ideally, you knew going into your lawsuit that a mental test could be required. Learn what kind of questions may be asked, and whether there will be testing of some kind (for example, multiple choice). Other inquiries include how long will the test will take, can it be recorded or videotaped and can your lawyer be there? Note that a report will likely be issued, which your lawyer can review and challenge. And you should no doubt have your own expert to explain the severity of your anguish caused by the former boss’s misconduct.
Q: Just what is an independent medical exam? I have serious injuries caused by a bad driver who went through a red light. Now, as part of the lawsuit, do I have to go to their doctor’s office to be examined?
N.D., Newport Beach
A: It is not uncommon in personal injury cases, particularly where significant monies are sought, that the injured party is required to undergo an independent medical test conducted by the doctor selected by the other side. At the risk of sounding a bit cynical, the word “independent” is a bit of a stretch. The doctor retained by your opponent wants to be credible, wants to be believable, but it is his or her job (if possible) to downplay your injury or injuries, and/or cast some question or doubt about them.
The medical test can be recorded. Your lawyer can be there as well, and observe. Keep in mind you are alleging that you suffered physical injury as a result of the accident, and you may be arguing that you are going to have future medical care as well. Part of the lawsuit process is what we sometimes call “dueling experts” — yours and theirs. Your doctor is going to emphasize the nature and seriousness of the harm you have suffered; as noted, theirs may try to counter the seriousness.
Talk this out with your lawyer. Know what to expect at the independent medical exam. The report issued by the other party’s doctor may be suspect, and a challenge to it (and the other party’s expert) is part of your lawyer’s job.
