For starting to learn new programming languages, a less conventional "standardized" test is solving Project Euler problems in that language.

I don't think that's a good test. It ignores a lot of knowledge about APIs that aren't necessary for solving mathematical problems. The Java Programmer Language Certification would be an example of a test for Java.

Is the Java Programmer Language Certification test a good test?
