Default :(...today i gave my first exam and i failed....


hi all...

i just wanted to ask about the exams and how to pass
them...

can any one help me plz...

i gave exam 70-306 but i failed because of around 10-15
questions that are from subject which does not exist in
the requiered books (ms2559,ms2565,ms2389)...the total
questions was 57...so i think i gave the wrong answers
for all of these 10-15 questions...

i learnt the books by heart...

right now i thought to buy some practice exams...do u
think that it will help me??...

also do u know any other way to get pass the exams...

or just tell me how u passed the exams...i will do the
same to get passed...

____________

if u think i am not able to pass the exam then read
this...else dont read it coz these few lines are about my
self and how i am in the class...

in the class...i am the youngest one...all the others are
above 22yrs old...i am 18yrs old...one of them have ten
years experience...and he is 32 years old...two others
were sent by stock market...

all of them already work in a company and have
experience...all of them asked me at least once for a
solution for their problem which they face in their
job...and i gave them...and they said it works...

i also upgraded an MS Access application for a company to
vb.net standalone application...they liked it...

but i still failed in the exams...i dont know why...i
never felt that i am answering wrong...except the ones
which were about Windows Event Logging and COM+
Components...CLR Debugger...and some othere which does
not exist in the requiered books/courses...

i program more than 14 hourse per day...actually i do
nothing except programming and modelling in
softimage|xsi...but i still failed...

___________

so now can u plz tell me how did u pass the exams?...u
got a miracle...studied...or tell me anything that helps
me to pass the exams...

thanx in advance...

PS:that nick name is my candidate id...it is in my
beatifull examination result...

PS:i never failed in any exam before this...this one made
me feel bad...

Don't worry if you failed - just chalk it up to experience
and try again; you'll be in good company! I too failed my
first exam before I got the hang of it.
Also, don't compare yourself with more experienced
programmers (and don't believe all the tall tales they
like to tell either ;o)

Now that you have seen a real exam you know better what to
expect next time. Try all the free demo's you can find on
the net and (if you can afford it) get the transcender
practice exam.

In addition to the actual exam knowledge you need to be
aware of good exam technique for this kind of exams. Even
if you don't know all the answers you can maximise your
chance of getting it right anyway. It may help if you
invest in a book that specifically prepares you for 70-
306, for example

MCAD/MCSD Training Guide (70-306): Developing and
Implementing Windows-Based Applications with Visual
Basic.NET and Visual Studio.NET
by Mike Gunderloy

Do read the advice in the book on exam technique and don't
give up.

Best of luck next time!

There is a good book that I referred to while preparing
for the exam. The book is "Programming in Microsoft
VisualBasic.NET by Francesco Balena", it is fairly
exhaustive and covers almost all topics except Security,
which you have to do from MSDN. MSDN is a rich and
powerful resource and is full of examples. Also refer to
codeclinic.com for further help on topics. Transcender
practise exams will give you a good idea of what type of
questions are typically asked. Exam preparation is
different ball game. Exams typically stress on some topics
and some topics are completely ommitted. Exam preparation
should be focussed on topics which are stressed in the
exam, not how much knowledge you can cram in your
head......BTW failing an exam does not mean much, and so
does passing, it's not like if you pass an exam all of a
sudden you become a guru...

thanx maria...

yesterday i bought 'Transcender 2000 70-229 SQL
DesignCert'...i will buy more for the other exams soon...

i heared that most people fails on the first time...and
pass on the second...

i was looking for some Transcender like exams...i found a
website have these practice exams...i looked through a
demo exam for 70-306 which contained 10 questions and
answers...four of the questions were exactly the same as
i got in the exam...exept they changed the company
names...

i will try them also...9.9$ for one...
www.chainatag.com ...if someone looked through them and
found that they are almost the same as the questions in
the exams...please tell me...

thanx again maria...and all...
