Well... I have just failed this exam again for the 4th time ranging in scores
from 625 to 675. I just don't have enough real-world experience to "get over
the hump" in passing this particular test.

This comes even after taking the Transcender cert exams (after the first
failed attempt); Exam Cram 2 book by Mike Gunderloy - Que publishing (after
the second failed attempt) and vb.net xml web services and server components
by Sybex (Pamela Fanstill). I found all 3 study guides to be useful and
helpful, but not enough to pass...

I'm already an MCP that has passed the vb.net Windows forms and
asp.net/vb.net exams on the first try with only the transcender study exams.
I believe I was able to pass these exams, because I have had some "real
world" experience with the types of concepts in these two exams, but very
limited exposure to xml web services, .net remoting, security and
testing/debugging which seemed to be my weakest topics. I just can't get
passed that 700 score.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve to pass the 70-310 exam to
get my MCAD certification?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Hi Bill,

I would also recommend the MS Press book for this exam, though the most
useful resource for me in any exam always proved to be the Que book.

My suggestions for you would be :

1. Print out the Exam Preparation guide from the MS site if you haven't
done so, already.
2. Review each major area of the guide, and number it according to your
relative confidence in it.
3. This, combined with some of the practice exams you've given, should
very clearly tell you which are your weakest areas. You've mentioned
all of the important topics as weak. That won't do.
4. It is a misconception that you simply cannot substitute real-world
experience with knowledge and practice. You'd have to work much harder
than a person who's done it all, but it's definitely possible.

Feel free to ask here about any other help you need.
