I understand people are in different fields, but I'm just interested to know in your own opinion what is the most difficult certification test out there?

Where do you live so I can avoid, speaking as a fellow Texan.

This was in Donna TX. I have since moved to the other side of McAllen.

I might have to agree with DPG on this one.

Obviously none of mine apply.. but I have the Network+, CCNA, and AWS CSA.

Network+ was by far the hardest for me. It was my first, yes... but still. N10-006 was way harder than N10-005.

The certification you have no interest or motivation in. Everything else just requires motivation/money & time.

+1 on this one, except... I'm starting to think that it is the last one done which is the hardest. When I did my Security+, I was put through the wringer. It was nothing compared to How I felt when I did CISSP.

Actually, this made me think back - and I just found two of my old Microsoft MCP certifications!

Good point! I had a tougher time with the A+ than GCIH and the CCNP Security exams. I've been able to develop a system for exam preparation that can only come with experience.

I sometimes wonder if the arcane questions included in these exams are actually designed to detect cheaters. Some questions it seems like you need to have either some extraordinarily deep knowledge and understanding of the product, way above the level of the exam, or access to Google and time to read several technical documents.
