Thanks to Chris Shiflett, who provides us with the elusive answers to the Zend Certification Self-Test, in a recent blog post. Quite an interesting post for those of us who didn't do so hot on the self-test. The self-test can be found at http://www.zend.com/store/education/certification/self-test.php?begin=1 and Chris' answer key can be found at http://shiflett.org/.
