As of today, I am certified for ASP.NET 4.0.
Learning from my previous experience, yesterday I drove to the test center and checked it out first. I don't understand why the same test center keeps moving from place to place! Every time I take an exam with them, they move. This time I ensure I know how to get there so everything was smooth. As usual, I was there an hour ahead and waiting outside for the time came.
There are 51 questions in total for 2.5 hours. I finished them about 1.75 hours. I am happy with my score. I could miss 1 or 2 questions. That's. My score is 970 out of 1000. The passing mark for this test is still at 700.
For some reason, I feel 4.0 is a lot easier than 3.5. But I am surprised to be tested by some jQuery questions. There were at least 4 questions in my test. Frankly, I don't find them related to ASP.NET. To me, it doesn't make any sense to have them in the test. jQuery is not mentioned in MS testing objective. Why am I being tested with jQuery syntax? Luckily I use jQuery and am able to answer them. Otherwise, it could be doomed. Besides MVC 2 and dynamic data stuff, I don't see any new stuff in the test. If you know 3.5 (including SP1) well and put some effort to learn more about MVC 2 and dynamic data, for sure you will be ready for the test.
Good luck to everyone who is preparing or going to take this test!
Congratulations! How did you prepare for the exam: which simulation test did you utilize towards your preparation, what books? It would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I only studied the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit. Inside, there is a simulation test. I also look up the detailed explanation from MSDN, especially for the ones I don't understand why they are the answers. While I am doing the simulation, I always ask what the objective of this question is. From my experience with the previous exams, most questions are modified from MSDN, except this time those questions related to jQuery/JavaScript validations.
