    I am going to have to agree with you in that there is something wrong with this exam. I just took it today and I failed with a score a little below 700. I have taken so far more than 80 MCP exams, so I am experienced enough to be able to tell most of the time how well I am going to do in the final score based on how confident I am on the answers that I am giving. In this exam, I was convinced that most of my answers were correct, so I was expecting a high score, possibly close to 900. So I was very surprised at the final failing grade. I am left with the impression that there must be some anomaly in the way that this exam is scored, when compared with other MCP exams.

    Hi Alberto... Thanks for your favoring reply. What shall we do about it?

    I think in the evaluation they check our number of years work experience. Whatsoever experience, why It allows a candidate to write a exam with 1Years of Windows Programming experience. Either they have to make it very clear about eligibility criteria or they have to relax in evaluation method .

    Please advise if u have any contact in Microsoft to get some visibility on this issue.

    When did you answer my question. I was waiting for more than 2 weeks to see any reply.


    Well, the reason I answered very late is that I waited till I took the exam so that I could provide an informed answer. Which is the same situation that happens with this reply: I waited until I took my exam for the second time. This time I passed, so I can confirm that it is at least posible to pass the exam, even though I still think that its scoring is more severe than the norm for other MCP exams.

    how did u thru the exam within 2 weeks since u failed :-P?

    Well, since I had already taken the exam once, I knew which were the areas where I was weakest. So I reviewed those topics in the documentation, and then took again the exam after I was confident that my knowledge had a better coverage of my previously weakest areas.
