Passed 70-448 Atlast

Today, I cleared MCTS:SQL Server 2008 Bussiness Intelligence ..I had been working with SSRS (Report builder 1.0) from past 2 Yrs and some portion of SSIS. But, lacked in SSAS and SQL 2008 Environmet, for which I exceuted internal project for my Company.
It was second shot option that saved the day..Thanks microsoft for that.
For prepration, I had gone thru -
1. Expert Cube Design Book
2. Worx Publication , Proffessional SSIS 2008
and MS Training guide of 70-448, Also i took measureup test
I belive, the first time was an experience that gave me my limitation.

In Second shot,I looked the MS training kit seriously and Measureup m managed to pass.

Passed 70-526,Now I am MCTS :-)

Hurray! At last success.
I passed 70-526 after second attempt,taking advantage of MS second shot.
At first shot of the exam time. It was spins of Deployment and Print documnet that bowled me out. I scored 678, a mere miss.

Then, Praticed a lot for Deployment(Clickonce) and got through with PrintDocument,PrintPrivew Etc.

I think,prepration with MS Traning Guide is not enough. The Pratice with example is also neccessary.

Passed 70-536 :-)

It was a great day,My three months of hard work has paid off,at last.
I used Microsoft pubs 70-536 as guide to exam.It covers most of the chapters except the concept of GDI+ programing. The syllabus published in microsoft site was my second guide and I kept on searching the key works in google.
Any way prepration of C# 2.0 from Illustrated C# 2005,Accelarated C#2005,programming C# by Sells was great from Generics and Streams.
The books on Crytography and security has helped me a lot.

The measure UP prepartion with trancender was excellent choice.

My expecience with MCAD has helped me great ways,to get away with diffucult questions.



All done..It was excellent experience and to end a year in wonderful note...

Passed MCAD :-)

It was on Sept end that my great hard work has paid of. I was slogging from january onwards for this exam.
I had prepared with Amit Kalani books.Those were the great books. But still to get overall idea of exams. I needed to take pratice test either from measure Up or Transcender.
The toughest exam was on XML webservice and easiest was ASP.NET.

Now my aim is to get an MCPD. There are no materials avaliable for prepartions for upgrade exams.Hence, I have choosen the path of MCTS ->MCPD. Those are challanging path.
