MCAD Exam 70-306 Questions

I am going to try and get to a test center this Friday and take the Exam
70-306, however, it's my first exam, so I'm anxious and curious. What can I
expect? How many questions, time limit, computer based or paper test. How
hard, how do they score, what is the least i have to get to pass? Do they
tell you immediately afterwards if you have passed or failed? And if anyone
has any additional info they think would be relevant for a newbie like
myself, your answers will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

That's normal, don't worry about it.

Questions and time limit vary. Usually 35 - 55 questions and 2 - 3 hrs.

> computer based or paper test.

Huh !!???? Don't you think you should be aware of this by now ? I
thought you said you were going to give the test this Friday. The rest
of your questions are also of the type which a person who beginning
preparation for an exam would ask. Or are you starting your preparation
now ?

About 70% is pass mark. Yes, you will know the result immediately.

lol!, no I've done extensive research, throughout the Microsoft website, I
just wasn't sure how up to date their site was, I figured I'd ask in case
maybe things had changed. Ok, wow, that doesn't even seem like a lot of
questions. See my boss bought the books from MS Press so I could study, and
the book set included a CD-ROM with practice questions on it. I have been
taking the practice exam questions, but they only give you 50 at a time and
no more than 50 minutes to complete them. Basically what i am trying to say
is that I have no idea what to expect other than what I have experienced with
the practice questions. Well thanks for the answer Cerebrus, and hopefully I
will be back by next week to Post my good news that I passed!

You are one lucky fella ! May everyone have a boss like yours !

I would recommend you take a look at some of the Que books for each
exam that you intend to give. If you're outta time, atleast give the
Exam Cram2 book a quick read. It also has some practice tests that I
think are *very* good for practice. I wouldn't have dared to go give
any of the exams only after reading the MS Press books. They're not
very comprehensive, if you understand me.

well I've been taking the practice exams twice a day now and each time, I am
studying my incorrect answers and the explanations of why they are wrong, so
from that point, I am getting higher pass & on the practice exam, my highest
so far is an 84%. I am not memorizing the answers, I know that some people
do that, I am actually studying it all, and I believe that by next Monday or
Tuesday I will be ready to get in there and pass this exam 70-306!!!
