Passed the MCAD 70-315

Hey everyone,

I passed the 70-315 exam today. The exam was 43
questions, 2 hours. I studied only from the Amit Kalani
book for like 2 months.

There were a lot of questions from the end chapters, i.e
testing, mantaining and configuring the web application.

If anyone has any questions, i will be sure to respond

 

well done tarique.

what score did you get and what is your experience?

I am working towards the 70-316 exam using Kalani's book. What you say about
his 70-315 book gives me encouragement. they are such a long books!

 

Cool! I'm booked in to take the exam next week, and like you, I've mainly
used the Kalani book. I do have one question: are the review questions in
Kalani's book similar to the exam at all? Some of them seemed a bit simple
to me, which makes me think the exam may be a bit harder.

Cheers,

Emma

 

this is an aspirant for writing Web-based application exam
of MCAD. Previously i have written it but could not
qualify and written in VB.NET, Now i want to write using
C#.NET , will it be possible.
Waiting so eagerly for u reply.

 

Hi Ahmed,

It makes no difference which language you choose for your exam. Whenever
you've passed a combination of exams to fulfill the MCAD requirements you
will have your certification. In case what you're asking is, can you mix
languages, the answer is yes. You can, for example, write the 70-305 and
70-320 exams for the MCAD certification.

 

Yes,you can write it in C#. net, irrespective of anything
you have done in the last exam.

 

hey Emma,

Actually, i found the practice exam of Amit Kalani nothing
like the MCP exam, and not helpful. it was too easy.

For exams, i used transcender, which was good (I couldn't
get most of the questions right, but learnt something
minor on reading the solution, which REALLY, REALLY
helped.) but pricey. Since then i've found out about
another website, www.examulator.com, which has very good
questions and is relatively cheap too.

All the best for your exam.

 

hey,

I got 962/1000. I think i got 41/43 questions right.

I learnt a lot from the Amit Kalani book, but the exam
questions aren't good. I did practise exams from
www.transcender.com which i found very useful. Like, i got
most of the questions wrong when i attempted them, but
learnt a lot from the solutions ( usually it was based on
something minor, which wasn't stressed in or for some
reason i didn't give much importance while reading the
kalani book).

All the best for your exam. I'm actually going to start on
70-316 myself soon

 

I finally got around to doing it yesterday and I have to agree. I doubt I'm
going to get 97% in the actual exam. The PrepLogic exam on the CD is a
bit more difficult, though I found some of the questions annoyingly vague
and typos made some answers downright incorrect (the correct answer to one
question involved adding "runat=myserver" to an HTML control...). OTOH,
vagueness and typos were features of the Microsoft exams I've taken in the
past, so I expect 70-315 will be the same.

I also have the Microsoft MCSD training kit, and although I didn't find the
70-315 book very helpful, the practice exam that comes with it is pretty
difficult, particularly if you let it time you. Between the three of them,
I've had enough food for thought to hopefully make the real exam that much
easier!

I am scheduled to take the 70-315 exam on Feb25. I'm from
the philippines and Amit kalani's book is not available
here. The only book available here was the Self paced
training kit from MS press. I've read one of your post
here and you said that the book is not good. What is my
chance of passing the exam? If say I passed the practice
test included in the book, Can i assume that I am ready?
What topics should i concentrate on?

I can't afford to fail and take the exam again. I'll be
very grateful for some of your advices.

Thanks.

 

waht sort of questions were from the end chapters.
Were there too many questions on database access?

 

Your test in on EDSA Day? =)

Anyway, that book will only teach you the basics. I also used that book and
I have passed the exam. But I also did read articles from the MSDN and tried
to create some applications. If you already have extensive experience in
developing in C#, then you wouldn't have any problems. If you don't have any
experience yet, try creating some applications.

Basically, the test questions covers the whole book, but as I told you, the
book only offers the basics. You need to research more on the topics
discussed in the book.

Good luck on you exams.
