i dont like news like this ... starting from the time when we used to see news about 4 year olds getting 80% in 12th or 3rd graders passing engineering.
this just shows about how parents impose things on young children in hopes of them having a great future. In many cases its hard being that kid with constant pressure from parents , think of the cases that dont succeed.

Is that what it takes to be a Microsoft Certified Professional? Memory? Just become like a brain dump?

No much idea about these exams, but that's what the news item seems to suggest.

Eight-year-old becomes youngest MCP certificate holder Madurai, Dec 22 (PTI) An eight-year-old girl from a city school here in India's southern state of Tamil Nadu has become the youngest Microsoft Computer Professional Certificate holder in the world, scoring 842 out of 1000 marks.
Livina Sri of the Dolphin matriculation school was presented with a certificate by Microsoft last week.

The record was earlier held by Hurbahkareem Randhaha, a 10-year-old Pakistani girl, who received the MCP certificate in 2005. The MCP examinations are usually taken by graduates in the age group of 20 to 25 and above all over the world.

"It is a great feat as Livina Sri has passed the examination last month and got the certificate," said sources.

The certificate holders would also be complimented by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, either through a letter or personally.

Livina had entered the Limca book of records when she was three years old for reciting 1330 'Tirukural' couplets and had won the national award for the same. PTI
