a question: Do I have to have some work experience before taking the exam

Hi, I am a newbie. Just want to know if there is any work
experience requirment to take the exam. Thanks a lot.

Jessi,

No, there is no work experience requirement. They only require that you pay
for the exam. From the Audience Profile section of the requirements page
for exam 70-316 (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-316.asp):

"Candidates have at least one year of experience developing Windows-based
applications."

This is just a typical profile, not a requirement.

Hope this helps.

hi jessi,

There is no work experience requirement to take up microsoft
certification exams. But it would be helpful (but not a requirement)
for your preparation if u have some previous experience with the
software.
