Some of the best/hardest test I have taken are over at brainbench.com. They have some free tests and some sample exams that are also free (you do have to register). The tests are extensive and really test your breadth of knowledge in a particular area. For instance, I was born and raised in the US and I got a 2.9 out 5.0 on the English language exam. Passing for certification is 2.75, so I just passed. Should I ask for a refund on my four years of college?
Master certification is 4.0 or better out of 5.0. I've been hand coding HTML for years and I couldn't get a score high enough for master level certification, although I did much better than my English score. I don't think they have a MySQL exam, but they do have an SQL test. I was pleasantly surprised at how difficult the exams are, even though you have complete access to the internet. The tests and questions are timed.
For fun they do also have test on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and stuff like that.

I don't know if we all get the same questions, but I was disappointed in some of those I was asked. One was like:

"Is this syntax valid in MySQL?"
