Test Results

Well, halfway through the test, I was trying to figure out how I was going to retake it before Jan 31. I did not feel confident at all. The questions were very different from the Transcender practice test. That is nothing against Transcender, I didn't take time to prepare well for this, so I only went through 2 of the 5 practice tests.

I got to the end and clicked the End Test button and instead of the "You failed, loser!" message I expected, I got a "Congratulations! You passed." message. I scored a big 792. My other two tests, I scored above 800, so I didn't do as well as I would have wanted, but a Pass is a Pass. So I am now an official MCAD. My next goal: MCPD.

Final Test on Wednesday

I am taking my final test Wednesday to finish my MCAD. The company I work for needs me to finish this so we can keep our MSFT Gold Partnership. Nothing like a little pressure.

A cool thing I just found in my inbox. MSFT is offering free beta tests for their MCAD/MCSD upgrade tests to the new MCPD certification programs. So if I pass this test Wednesday, I can take another upgrade exam for free and have the new MCPD certification. I don't think the upgrade exam would be too difficult since I've been working with .Net 2.0 since Beta 1.
