Exam 70-293

I'm preparing to take exam 70-293. I'm using the TestOut ITC and the
Microsoft Self-Paced Training kit. Most of the material for this exam
seems to be similar to exam 70-291.

I'm still at the beginning of the training but can anyone tell me if
this is the case.

Also how many questions are on exam 70-293 and what the time limit is.

Thanks

Isam

I found that most of what I needed to know for the test I learned from 291.
There are more objectives listed in the course description, like clustering,
but I also used the Microsoft training kit and did fine.

Every test I've taken lately has been 40 questions, and 200+ minutes. I've
always had plenty of time to finish my Microsoft exams, so I just set aside
a 4 hour block to take off from work =D

I hate top-posting, but this is to both of you.

The number of questions on an exam *VARIES*....they change the exams all the
time.

Why does it matter anyways?

Now, MG, you seem like a pretty smart guy, so I'm giving you a little heads up
here. By disclosing the number of questions on an exam, you've just violated the
NDA that you signed when you took the exam, and that can have dire consequences.
You already know MS reads all of these posts.

Did anyone *give you* that information before you took the exam? Let these
halfwits figure it out on their own.

Thanks for the info Mostly Gizzards

I don't know what BD's problems are but sounds like they are many.

My problem is that I don't understand why you halfwits need to know how many
questions are on the exams. This question has been asked hundreds and hundreds
of time over in the many different forums and the same answer shows up every
time. If you would spent a little time reading instead of just posting your
silly little question, you would have realized that the number of questions on
the exams does not matter. What matters is that you know the material. If you
don't know the material, then you're not going to pass regardless of if there
are 10 questions or 100 questions.

Go take the exam and figure out for yourself just how many questions are on the
exam. If you're not prepared, it won't matter.

BD is right - there is no point in knowing ahead of time. And thanks BD for
the heads up - I didn't realize the number of questions was NDA fodder. I
am always careful about things like "what was on the test" and basically
only say "The stuff that Microsoft tells you will be on the test WILL be on
the test so be ready."

And Isam, BD is very passionate (along with other MCNGP's on the boards)
about maintaining the integrity of the certification, so don't be offended,
be thankful. If you get your certification, you want it to be worth
something. I know I do.

Whats important is that Microsoft WILL give you more than enough time to
take the test, assuming you have half a clue of what you're doing in there.
So, study hard and good luck to you on the test.

I didn't know it until recently as well. Wayne posted it two weeks ago in
Message-ID: <>. You can be vague about it.

I'm sure your MCP isn't at risk....I hear they're light on first time
offenders...he he....

Hey Little Dick

You should go see a shrink or someone.
Anyone joining this forum for the first time will obviously ask
questions that may have been asked many times before.

Even a genius has to ask questions.

I find it hard to believe that you could be in a customer support
environment with your bad attitute and stupid comments.

You should go and get yourself a life, maybe a girlfriend too.

BD, don't bother answering mate.
Isam, if you have an opinion, by all means express it. Try, however, to
express it succinctly, sensibly and politely. Above all, an intelligent,
witty and topical reply will always elicit favourable comments.
Yes, I know we mostly jump in feet first and insult people; but we're
gradually coming around, we are all passionate about the certification. Your
childish "kick me, punch you" attitude doesn't help.

yeah and even an idot can use a search engine to find out the answer
to a question which as been answered countless times before. So what
does that make you then?
