A question about MCSD exam Score sheet.

[Runtime_error]

I took my MCSD exam 70 - 300 and didn't pass :(. I want to know what the scores are as i know i did quite well, just not well enough. I have no idea who to ask for the scores. I booked the exam through Thompson's prometric and they say i have to ask Microsoft lol

 

So can anyone direct me to a source where i can get my exam marks please....

 

I am in UK

I don't think they'll release them, but that's just a guess. They certainly won't review the items you missed or anything like that.

 

If you have $100-$150 (not sure of the current price), Transcender makes practice tests that are very close to the MS exams, sometimes a bit harder. They usually come with three practice exams. If you can pass all 3 then you should have no problem passing the real exam.

 

If you do go with Transcender, I suggest the following:

1. Take the first exam cold - don't study. See how close you are, look at the results and concentrate on any area you did bad in.

2. Retake the first exam and make sure you pass with a reasonably high score.

3. Take the second exam as in step 1 and 2.

 

If you do the above, by the time you take Exam 3 you'd better be passing it on the first try. If you don't, it might be a sign that you need some more real world experience (what the exams are *supposed* to measure).

 

The Transcender used to put references into the MS documentation as well. So for each question/answer, they give a full description of why the right answer is right and the wrong answer's wrong and references to look at. It's a GREAT way to quickly learn a lot about .NET, even if you don't want to take the exam. But you have to be willing to read a lot as you go through the tests.
