I fully concur with these comments!

I am also aware that a company known as Brainbench (at one time) designated
the people who passed their exams as "Brainbench MVPs" which (at least at
one time in the past) seemed to "muddy the waters". Since I was personally
involved in reviewing the questions for some of the predecessor company's
questions for the Win9x exams I mentioned above (before they sold out to
Brainbench), I can assure you that nobody needed to be an expert to pass
those exams (they kept the questions "basic" and "simple"). [Disclaimer, I
don't know if Brainbench still calls their customers "MVPs" or if they
changed the designation.]

No matter who provides advice, I strongly advise the recipient to use good
judgment before implementing it. Oftentimes we are only provided with an
"abbreviated description" of what is happening and thus we can easily
provide bad advice due to not knowing all the facts.
