Anton -
There appears to be a language differential in the use
of "write" as it relates to exams. Americans say "I
sat for the CISSP last Saturday" where as Brits,
Australians, and many folks in the Far East will say
"I wrote the CISSP last Saturday".

So I was responding to a thread where the person used
the word to mean that they were TAKING the exam.
Certifications can only measure your ability to SIT
FOR / WRITE / TAKE / PASS an exam and to master basic
CBK material. Some certifications have additional
compenents, such as the GIAC which required that you
first write an original paper and THEN take a multiple
guess test. But again, you can "cram" for these and
still not be a very good security professional.  KW
