70-210 - Passing Score/Method

Hi

I'm an unqualified support technician with 18 months experience in IT
support. I want to acheive MCP (and then MCSA) and intend to sit 70-210
Win2k Pro. The passing score of 700/1000, exactly how many questions can you
afford to get wrong? Does this scoring method equal a straight 70% passmark,
i.e get 40 of the 50 questions correct then you pass? Also, is there any
kind of catagory pass system in the exam, i.e do I have to pass each
individual topic within the exam, or is it just an overall grade?

Thanks

Phil.

 

You need a 700 overall to pass. The total score required and number of
questions varies. You can find most of this information on the MS website.

Phil, since you are a newbie at this game, I would recommend a few
things.....

-Go to testking.com, pay for the study guide on 210, study it till your
brain hurts.
-Also take the sim. exams, since they are almost exactly the same as
the test.

I took the same route when I started out several years ago. But if you
don't want to go that route, try dropping a crap load of $$$ and go to
a bootcamp.

 

Good advice, skippy, my pal, you cheating [email protected] Phil, since you are a
newbie, I would recommend downloading whatever resources you can from MS,
including the test matrix, then purchasing whatever books you can afford.
Search the newsgroups; you should be able to find recommended books for this
exam. Don't worry about what you need to pass (number of questions,
percentage, total score, etc.). Concentrate on the material you need to
know, with extra stress on the subject areas you feel you're weak in. Use
transcender or measure up or any other prep exams to gauge you progress, but
only after you've studied your butt off. Testking, actualexams and all the
rest are braindumps and violate the MS NDA. on't listen to the likes of
skippy here and other vermin and you should do fien.

sorry for rambling.

Molsonexpert gave you the long version, but I'll give you the short version.
Testking is for cheating assfsckers.

Skippy, my brain already hurts

I paid for the study guide from Cramsession, and it does help a little. My
employer paid for the Transcenders, which I'm just scraping a pass mark on
at the moment.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Wish me luck as it's booked for a week this
Friday.

Cheers

Phil.

 

Your post brings back memories of when I took my first certification exam on
Windows 95. I was paranoid about wanting to pass since my employer was paying
for the exam. He came to me one day and said "Go take your exam". I said
I'm not ready yet, and he replied "Yes you are. Do it" Well I went and took
the exam sweating bullets all the way to the test center. And I DID Pass it.
He gave me one of the best pieces of advice during my certification quests:
"Don't be afraid to take a flunk. I have a whole drawer full of them. If
you don't feel confident and are not sure what they are looking for...go sit
for the exam. At least you will then know what they want and can make a
final preparation with added study in the areas in which you didn't do well."
Long story short....don't sweat the format, the number of questions, exam
structure, etc. I have taken 18 certification exams since that first one and
only flunked 3 of them (took retakes on all and passed). Do your study,
practice with the software, and know your stuff...On that basis you will do
well. Good Luck!!!!
