Did he pass without ever even practicing? This brings up an interesting point. In my mind there is a big difference between someone who buys an exam guide, reads it, and then passes the test vs someone who grabs a 30-day trial copy, tries out all the important functionality, and then takes the test. It's too bad that the OCP exams can't somehow zero in on that second group of people.
