What is recommended order and time for exams?
|
|
|
| Hello all,
I am in the planning phase of my MCSD (.NET) path. As you
know there are 5 exams. I was wondering if anybody can
help me to plan my study path.
I like to know:
Which exams are better to be first or which exams
shouldn't be before other ones?
Is it better to study and take exams one by one or take
all (or some) of the exams close to each other (like a
day or two in between)?
This is my plan now. I would appreciate your help to
modify it.
1: 70-300 (Sept 2003)
2: 70-316 (Oct 2003)
3: 70-315 (Nov 2003)
4: 70-320 (Nov 2003)
5: 70-229 (Dec 2003)

| You don't say anything about your experience level with .Net products so
your question is impossible to answer. There's no point in speculating based
on other people's knowledge and background. You have to work from *your*
current level of knowledge and move forward from there.
I strongly suggest you go to www.transcender.com and www.measureup.com.
Both companies offer free demo versions of their exam preparation tools.
Download the demos for each of the exams and take the tests (usually about
10 questions each.) Then re-evaluate your timetable based on how well you
did. If the questions seem completely unfamiliar, you need to adjust your
game plan accordingly.
Also, I recommend you start with whatever exam covers the material you are
already most familiar with. If you've been building .Net web apps, start
with 70-316. If you've built more .Net windows apps, start with 70-315.
Once you've passed one of the "real" exams, you may want to adjust your
expectations again.
