| Hi, I have some questions about exam 70-315:
1). I know that the exam is 120 minute duration, and contains 55 questions.
The format is multiple choice: either single answer or multiple answers. Is
this correct?
2). Will the exam give the hint of how many answers are anticipated, like
Transcender does?
3). I read some of the discussion forums that the questions are lengthy. Is
every question like that? Does the exam contain short questions, like one or
two sentence questions?
4). For the result: Will I get either Pass or Fail without any scores? Will
I also get a report listing the fields I need to sharpen if I fail?
Thanks very much.

| 1) Microsoft exam questions can contain a variety of formats, including
Select and Place, Multiple Choice Single Answers, Multiple Choice Multiple
Answers, etc.
2) The exam won't give any hints.
3) Microsoft questions always mimic real-world scenarios, so they can become
very lengthy. There are some good practice questions at www.measureup.com
for exam 70-315. I wrote half of them.
4) You will only get Pass or Fail and no other details. Microsoft feels that
a numeric score is not important nor relavent in a growing technology. A
score of say 90% today will not be equivalent to one a year later, due to
software improvements, complexities, etc.

| Minor correction to what James said: the original question was asking about
"hints" in regard to they type of question which requires you to select a
number of answers. The real exam does tell you to "select three" for
example. In fact, Transcender usually instructs you to pick all of the best
answers where the actual exam usually tells you how many correct answers
there are.
Also, not every question is lengthy - in fact, I have found that the
developer exams tend to have shorter questions than the MCSE exams.

| I found the questions for the MCSE shorter in general.
No long code segments to wade through on the MCSE.

They certainly 'can contain' just about anything, but in practice almost all
questions are multiple choice, with a good number of those requiring more
than one choice.

I agree with Don, I think Elaine was asking whether it would say "choose all
that apply" or "choose 3 answers". In most cases, it's the latter although
I've seen a small number of 'choose all' questions even on recent exams.

| Could you help clarify the use of sessions in web services for me?
I am of the belief that a session for a web service is established when a
client connects to it.
The session closes when the client proxy goes away.
Two simultaneous clients equals two sessions.
To retain data for subsequent reuse one should use either the Application
object or a Cache object.
Thanks,
Glenn

I haven't worked on any real web services, but I believe their 'session'
object is functionally equivalent to an ASP.Net session.
So your description sounds accurate, though when an asp.net session closes
is usually on a timeout. Http is connectionless, so there's no automatic
notification on the server that a connection has been 'dropped'.

| Thanks.
Closing by timeout was what I was missing.

| Hello...
Not right at all!
It is possible that a browser notifies the webserver, that the client is
leaving the site. Then the session will be destroyed.
If there is no notification: The session will be destroyed after a Timeout
(SessionTimeout).

This looks like a rare case of oversnippage. Were you replying to a
different message? I do remember a recent thread about session closing, but
it wasn't this one.
Anyway, are there browsers that automatically send some kind of standard
http message to a server when the user closes the browser or moves to a
different site? Your comments seem contradictory - 'not right at all' and
'it is possible'. I believe in the session thread I had said that sessions
usually timeout, which seems to agree with 'it is possible'. But I've
learned to distrust my memory, so maybe you can help with some more context
for your reply?
