I'm surprised nobody has asked - which poster is it on here?

I feel sorry for the poor chap. He's clearly very bright and talented, yet due to poor advice he received on how best to direct his abilities when he was only four-and-a-half years old and too young to judge, he'll be tainted by this association with Microsoft products until he's six or even seven years old

So his dad was reading him the questions. OK then.

Here's a typical exam Microsoft certifications - Practice tests
The standard way of passing these is to find the questions on a braindump site and learn the answers to all the possible questions. But even if he did go with that approach, it's still pretty good going for a wee boy.
