Important notes

Here are some important notes before you contribute to Certificationy Symfony Pack:

• For legal reasons, you MUST have never passed the Symfony certification yet,
• All questions existing in Certificationy are not copied from a certification exam,
• You are not allowed to use the questions from the Unofficial self-study guide.

Add questions

The official SensioLabs Symfony Certification contains 75 randomly chosen questions and is 90 minutes long. The examination covers the following topics:

• PHP
• HTTP
• Architecture
• Standardization
• Bundles
• Controllers
• Routing
• Twig
• Forms
• Validation
• Dependency Injection
• Security
• HTTP Caching
• Command Line Interface
• Automated testing
• Miscellaneous (error handling, code debugging)

from Official Symfony certification.

You can add questions to each category. There are three types of questions:

• True/false questions
• Single answer questions
• Multiple answers questions

There are no open questions or any lines of code to write.

To contribute to the Symfony Pack, you can add questions in each category in YAML:

-
    question: 'What is the prefix of environment variables used by Symfony?'
    answers:
        - {value: "SYMFONY__", correct: true}
        - {value: "SF__",      correct: false}
        - {value: "SYMFONY-",  correct: false}
        - {value: "SF-",       correct: false}

Check if the question is not present, to avoid duplications.

Finally, validate your YAML files: you can use the built-in command of Symfony:

$ php app/console lint:yaml /path/to/your/yaml/file.yaml
