| I just failed 70-176. For me, yes the exam is extremely
hard. 70-17 is Desktop Apps with VB6. I have been told
to get Transcender and study that until I have all the
questions and answers memorized then it will be an easier
test. I guess that is one way to get a cert, but I want
to pass by know VB inside out. My score was 413/713. At
the bottom is showed the % for each area of the test.
Package and Deployment is a killer for me.
Anyway I hope this helps.
I am looking for a classroom environment. The place I am
going through for the class only has it online and it is
not live. I want to be able to ask questions and get
answers.
One day I will pass this exam.
