Passed 70-300

Just got back from a successful go at the 70-300 test and thought I would
share some basic. My test had three scenarios - the first was 20 minutes
long (city power company), the second was 40 minutes (Woodgrove bank), and
the third was 60 minutes (fine arts college). About 80% of the questions
were related to the case studies, and the other 20% were general
requirements gathering or technical questions. Similiar posts have mentioned
this, but the answers to most of the case study based questions are in the
case study itself, so read and re-read the text.

Study materials:

MCSD Analyzing Requirements and Defining .NET Solutions Architectures Study
Guide (Exam 70-300) by McGraw-Hill / Osborne

MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft
..NET Solution Architectures (Exam 70-300) by MS Press

Hey Scott, congrats!!!

I am going to start preparing for this exam. Of these two books, did
you find one more useful than the other. I saw both of these and bought
the MacGraw Hill/Osborne one.

Thanks!

Thank you!

They both have their advantages, but I found the MacGraw Hill book to be
test relevant - the topics seemed more geared to passing the test while the
MS Press book was more about learning the MSF, but didn't seem to point
directly at taking the test.

Yes, I got a score, but there was no breakdown of how well (or poorly) I did
in certain areas.

Well I guess it would be unfair for anyone to have to understand
another company's process model, as 'most' companies would already
have there own process models in place. Nevertheless, the MSF would be
good starting point for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of how
process models are applied.

Did you register your test with Pearson VUE or Prometric?
The customer service rep of Microsoft told me that the
test report varies depend on which test center you
register. Is it true?

Thanks a lot,

Penny
