If this was a website, don't do it. Those internet college degrees are trash, too. Go to a real school for hacking. I have been through many because the gov and now my company boses like for me to be up-to-date. Those classes occationally have exams, but the classes usually last a couple of weeks (one at the least) and are certainly more than $10. The exams really are not too difficult if you pay attention and have some wits about you. Some are written, some multi, others are to try to get addmition into a website, network, etc. and with the latter, the qiucker you do it and the more stealthy, the better. Then I had two were I had to defend against attacks and track the hackers and they will have you in a place and won't tell you when/if they are attacking. The latter two tests are the funnest for me!

The gov uses certified hackers. I was one of them. We are used to hack into other nations' gov comps and try to take info that is important. The FBI and CIA and MIA use certified andlegal hackers. Any hacker wants to do it legal, go there. Also, some companies pay people to try to breech their sys just to tell the company the sys weaknesses.
