Okay guys, for some strange reason I have decided to start
my MCSD with the 70-300 exam. I'm about 95% confident,
and I've completely gone through the Exam Cram 2 book, and
skimmed over the MS Press book here and there.
The rest of my tests will be taken in the following
order...

Web Applications in C#
Windows Applications in C#
SQL Server 2000 - Elective
XML Web Services (or whenever amazon© finally gets this MS
Press book in)

Wish me luck
Jonathan

Good luck Jonathan!!!

{FACETIOUS ON}
Unless you have already passed 70-100 sometime in the past,
shouldn't this approach automatically disqualify you from
passing 70-300? Given that the sub-goals to the completion
of a MSCD.NET are

- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (70-305/315)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (70-306/316)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (70-310/320)
- MSCD.NET Core Exam (70-300)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Elective Exam

You should have realized that you can attain some "business
value" (MCAD) before the close of the project by focusing
first on either one of the following groupings:

- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (70-305/315)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (70-316/316)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (70-310/320)

or

- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (1)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Core Exam (2)
- MSCD.NET/MCAD Elective Exam

to none of which 70-300 contributes. You may counter that
you where trying to assess project risk by establishing
whether or not the project is viable, as success in 70-300
is essential to the completion of the project. You do this
however by adding risk to the project, as completion of the
other three core exams may well have provided you with
information about .NET's strengths and weaknesses critical
to the evaluation of 70-300's case studies.

Hope it went well…

Well... On such a rainy day like this, no wonder it didn't
go so well...
I should have done what you guys have all said, and taken
this exam after Web Applications, Web services, and
Windows Applications. I was extremely strong in the
logical model, the structures and processes, did
absolutely horrible in the conceptual design phase
(despite thats the chapter of the two books that I have
been reading over and over again for weeks) and did so-so
on the other areas.
I expect after I get a little more experience under my
belt I will be better prepared for this exam. I'm just a
junior in college, without a job, so I really have no
experience behind me yet.
I have been programming in C#.NET for almost 2 years
now, just creating my own little apps here and there, and
for class (despite the fact that my college doesn't want
anything to do witn Microsoft).
Ah well, here's to my new Certification Exam scheduel...
Web Applications
Windows Applications
SQL Server - Elective
Analyzing Reqs and Refining .NET Solution Archs
XML - Web services (Still whenever Amazon can get me the
book :/ )

Thanks for your wishes and prayers guys!

Final Score: 400 (needed 700 to pass)
