Navia,
It appears to me from your post that you are preparing to give the
70-300 exam, and that you have already given a few MCP exams.
I did feel the same way while doing case studies for this exam. My
strategy for tackling practice case studies was to make a note of the
salient points under the following heads (Some might prove unnecessary,
according to the case study):
1. Current System
2. Problems with current system.
3. Envisioned System.
4. Users.
5. Other points / Misc.
Similarly, you can make your own headings and quickly summarize each
section of the case study. When you break it up like that, it doesn't
appear that formidable.
Here's another tip for handling Case studies from Victor Stachura,
whose blog page seems to be inaccesible, so I'll post the content here
:
///
The best thing you can do is read a case study and without looking at
the practice questions do the following:
- Itemize the requirements - understand what modules / components need
to be developed
- Determine which technology(ies) you would use in the solution
- Determine the security scheme you would use
- Chart out the use case - determine the actors & business entities
- Map out the data model - identify parent/child relationships
- Determine the Primary & foreign keys
- Itemize any risks & constraints
- Produce a context diagram / data flow diagram of the solution
- Understand the deliverables of the MSF phases.
Only when you've done the above, should you go through the questions on
your practice exam. Compare your analysis to the "correct" answers. If
you can do this on your own and score well on a practice exam, then you
are ready for the real test.
