After passing the test myself and discussing the topics covered in the actual exam with friends who have too,
I've come up with a list of topics and resources you need to specifically study in order to successfully pass the
70-316 certification exam.
Do not download and use braindumps:
Using braindumps is cheating. While you will probably pass the test by memorizing the questions and their answers,
you won't gain any real-world advantage that comes with knowing the topics by actually studying and using them.
Plus, by using braindumps, and hence by cheating, you degrade the value of the certification itself. Braindbumps
make it possible for any inexperienced and unknowledgeable person to pass the exam. A certification should be a
means by which you're skills and knowledge are tested and proved, not by which your memorization abilities are
tested and proved. Memorizing answers to specific questions doesn't make you a better programmer. Rather,
actually knowing, understanding and experiencing the technologies involved makes you a better programmer. Also,
braindumps are filled with errors and inaccuracies. I wouldn't want to bet my $125 exam fee on a braindump when the
results are NOT guaranteed. Only your complete and confident knowledge and understanding of the technologies
and topics required to pass the 70-316 exam will enable you to pass it accordingly!
What you need to know to pass the 70-316 certification exam:
Visit the following links for resources to their individual topics and study them completely and
thoroughly until you're confident you've mastered them! The best way to accomplish this is by actually
building Visual Studio .Net 2003 solutions and projects and incorporating the topics listed below into
them accordingly. There's no better way to study for an exam than by actually doing it in real-world scenarios.
You can get Visual Studio .Net 2003
by clicking on this link.
Once you think you've mastered the topics, take a few practice tests to gauge yourself. When you start passing
these practice tests with no less than 100% scores, you're ready to take the actual exam! Good luck!
