| enforcer 2003-05-23, 10:23 am |
| Woke up, sun blazing through curtains, got up, did the bathroom thing, throw some clothes on, wake 6yr old, make sure he does bathroom thing, throw some clothes on him, take said 6yr old to child minder, check for test centre, go to McDonalds, pick up big breakfast, go home, eat said big breakfast while watching old episode of Bewitched, leave home and walk up hill and down hill to test centre (yes I've found a test centre almost on my doorstep  ). arrive 9.50AM test scheduled fo 10AM. Test not downloaoded yet, spend next 75 minutes alternating between reading Alistair Maclean book, chatting up receptionist and talking to another candidate. find out other canditate is taking first MS exam and is doing the 70-210, feel guilty he's paid for his and I haven't (NOT). Eventually exam is downloaded. Start exam 11.30AM, first 11 odd questions to be done in 60 mins finish in 15. Second set 50 questions 150 mins (the main test), question 43 options C and D say exactly same thing word for word  , oh well check both and hope, finish in 55 mins. Third set another 12 odd questions again 60 mins finish in 10. The result PASS, go to printer, no paper in printer, speak to bloke on reception (nice girl gone to lunch  ) "we only put paper in to print" , paper added to printer, printer jams, printer unjammed, more paper put into printer, report printed.
Leave test centre and walk home. | |

| cool i wouldn't like this to happen to me though
great job but i have a question
which books did you use and which practice tests and what was your score on the practice tests?
thank you
i am taking mine soon | |
| enforcer 2003-05-23, 10:51 am |
| I have the MOC core books and used the practice tests within those (Microsoft readiness reviews), plus hands on experience, was getting 80-90% on the tests.
Good luck | |

| i have the moc too
i will be taking the exam probably next month
although taking the 76-210 exam on tuesday just to see what are the questions like | |
| thecomeons 2003-05-23, 2:05 pm |
| did the "bathroom thing" include the three esses, or did you just do the first one as the others weren't required.
you'd have thought that if they have to delay tests to download them, they would atleast have ha the decency to provide a bar (at the centre where i took my a+ o/s i got shown where they kept the complimentary coffee and water vending machines, at my other exams i barely got a friggin "good morning").
oh aye, and congratulations.
by the way, didn't you say your previous employer gave you the mspress core set, you're using atleast one elective from your ntmcse and you booked the two "76" exams? that means you could be win2kmcse for something like two or three weeks' wages.
i bet your toast always lands on the kitchen floor butter-side-up, jammy sod  | |

Good job!
actually I found it quite funny, that's why I was happy to read my book, in fact I was a little disappointed when she said it had downloaded, coz I had really got into the book. |
