For every single PHP job I've had, the employer looks at your work
experience, not whether you spent $125 to take a test. If one has only been
coding for 6 months, time spent building up a portfolio of work would be
more useful than just getting a new logo for your CV/resumι. Employers want
people capable of coding websites, not just capable of sitting basic exams.
Real-world experience trumps exams every time.
