| Hi,
Does anyone know of a system that one can use to review a
case study, quickly enough to still be able to pass this
test? I have taken the test, but I ran out of time and
left some questions unanswered. I am having the same
problem on the practice tests that I am using.
Thanks,
Jim

I recommend reading the questions before the case study. I explain that a
little more and some other case study exam thoughts here:

| I just took the 300 exam and passed, I would definately
reccomend reading the information in the "All" tab. I
didn't even bother with reading the individual interveiws
and went straight to the "All" tab that has all of the
information contained in each seperate tab. There isnt
anything that is in the individual interveiws that isnt
contained in the all tab. It is also handy to use while
answering the questions, you can refer to all of the
information in one place, rather than having to search
through all the different tabs. Reading the questions
beforehand isnt a bad idea either, that way you get a feel
for what you are searching for while you read the case
study.

| Contrary to Tim's suggesion 
What I did is read the case study carefully, write down every requirements
(in the interview tab),
then go to the questions. If you're not sure then go back to the case study.
IMHO, to pass the exam you need:
1. Skill (experience) in designing system
2. 70-229 (SQL Server 2000 design) skill will help you as well
3. Understand the case study very well
Last but not least, don't think 70-300 as a monster, otherwise you'll just
get nervous first,
and it will destroy your consentration and your preparation will be in vain.
Good luck.

| I don't know if you are doing this already, but here's a
recommendation from my MCT and it worked for me...
When you get to a new case study, don't read any of it first, go
directly to the question. Read the question first (whether it be
multiple choice or an interactive one) and then go to the case study
to find the answer. A lot of the time, the answer is only in one of
the tabs, although you may have to look at all the interviewees to get
the total answer (especially for db questions). Now, this approach
was for the 70-100 exam, so I don't know if this way of thinking still
works.

| Yeah, I agree...you really need the 70-229 skills to tackle the ARDSA
exam. My 70-100 exam was more than 50% database stuff, and if you are
good at designing and implementing dbs, then those questions are
pretty much "gimmies". I've read that there less db stuff on the 300
exam, but with a significant amount of 229 skills required, it'd be
good to refine that skillset first be4 taking the ARDSA exam.
I definately agree with what I read in a previous post...that majority
of it is just reading comprehension. Also, with what I've read in the
groups, the 70-300 exam concentrates more on the Microsoft Solutions
Framework Process Model and Team Roles...unlike the 70-100 exam. The
100 exam may have hit those topics indirectly, but the 300 exam is
more intensive with the MSF. Atleast, the case studies I got didn't
have any MSF-related content; it was mostly database stuff,
data/process flow diagramming, and just straight q/a reading
comprehension stuff.
I am gonna take the 300 exam before the end of September since I
haven't used my free voucher for it...still have a bit of preparation
to do...
