Default is this worth £29 ($59)

or is it just pointless: HTML Certification
thought it might look good on CV and if so I definitely wouldn't mind paying the £29

cheers

Yes and no, it's good value and shows that you grasp the basics but I'd say these are the sort of skills you need at entry level

The exam consists of 70 multiple choice or true/false question

I wouldn't think it's that advanced, the chances of guessing all the correct answers are pretty high

yeah, i don't think it's worth the money at all, although you may get the certificate those skills can be self taught, all the information and resources are available on the internet

make sure your portfolio validates with w3c and add the icons to your page, that would hold more weight with me (as a hiring manager) than a piece of paper. Shows you can implement what you know.
