Confirm 70-300 format?
|
|
|
| The exam I took was three case studies with approx. 10-12
questions on each one. There's a separate time limit on
each case with a separate review page for each case. So,
after you've answered the questions, you can go back over
your answers only for the case you're currently in - you
can't change answers for the previous cases.
Personally, I did not feel a lot of time pressure on this
one - but I do think it paid off to review answers
carefully. I won't say there's trick questions - but read
the wording carefully and really think through your
responses.
You will need to know MSF stuff...but nowhere near as much
as books like the Microsoft Study Guide or the Osborne
Study Guide would have you believe. The cases present a
scenario - some enterprise has existing hardware and
software and wants to upgrade their systems, for example.
You need to make decisions about things like whether they
need web apps or windows apps, or both. What parts of the
system need changing/upgrading and then how those new
components will need to integrate with peices that are not
being changed. Then they might ask you about
security/authentication, ORM, deployment, or normalization
kinds if things that relate to the case study, etc.
I found MSDN articles on these different areas to be a
good source of information. The Exam Cram book was pretty
good, too.
Hope that hlps and Good Luck!

| Thanks Rich!! Exactly what I was looking for. Just wanted to confirm the
general layout of the exam. Like I mentioned, I was a little taken back when
I first opened the Transcenders and glanced at them only to find three
questions. Wanted to make sure that the Transcenders weren't sending me down
the wrong path...
I used the MS study guide on 70-300 to review and that was ALL MSF. As
usual, the MSDN library was also helpful.
Thanks!

| I found a link that gives a good idea of the test format and it answered my
question.
Another question I have is "Is the test pass/fail or do they now score the
results?"

| From what I understand, all the exams for the MSCD.NET are pass/fail.
I think that only the newer exams will go back to some sort of
"standardized" scoring method across the board, but I haven't bothered to
look up the details. Pass is good enough for me...
Unfortunately, most people don't even seem to care about the certs, let
alone what your score was...

| passing is better... :-)
I have to say, I've used transcender from day one over six years ago for the
WinArch MCSD and 13 exams ago as a final review and they've never
disappointed me.
Thanks for the confirmation...

| I took the 70-320 on the 9th, and it gave a score now. I
had seen on the MS site that they were changing back, so
maybe they just haven't gotten to this test yet....
dissapointing as its the one I plan to take saturday. I
like knowing what areas I should revisit after the test.
Passing the test is good, but becoming better is well,
better.
