"Side note: Would it be possible for FIRST to make a deal with SolidWorks Corp. to make the exam more accessible to them? The current fee is $99.00"

Solidworks already offers the test for free to FIRST teams. If you have already requested solidworks software for your team, then there should have been a letter that came with the disks that contained the activation code for the software and also a voucher code for the test. That code acts as a coupon code for the test and covers the full $99. You can probably PM Marie Planchard for more information about anything solidworks related, she is the Director of World Education Markets for solidworks.

As for how useful the certificate is, I got it about a year ago and it helped me get an internship after my senior year in high school. It probably isn't that useful for most college students, but in my case it showed that I knew at least a small amount about solidworks, which they wanted to see before they would give me the job.
