Well... I have just failed this exam again for the 4th time ranging in scores from 625 to 675. I just don't have enough real-world experience to "get over the hump" in passing this particular test. This comes even after taking the Transcender cert exams (after the first failed attempt); Exam Cram 2 book by Mike Gunderloy - Que publishing (after the second failed attempt) and vb.net xml web services and server components by Sybex (Pamela Fanstill). I found all 3 study guides to be useful and helpful, but not enough to pass... I'm already an MCP that has passed the vb.net Windows forms and asp.net/vb.net exams on the first try with only the transcender study exams. I believe I was able to pass these exams, because I have had some "real world" experience with the types of concepts in these two exams, but very limited exposure to xml web services, .net remoting, security and testing/debugging which seemed to be my weakest topics. I just can't get passed that 700 score. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve to pass the 70-310 exam to get my MCAD certification? Thanks in advance, Bill
