    Take a semi-automatic rifle with you and gun down 70% of the people sitting
    the exam at the same time as you.

    Any suggestions for exam nerves? Got a Microsoft exam and its meant to be
    difficult. Only 30% of applicants passed the 1st round of the exam.

    Don't use dumb-dumb bullets, as you'll only hit the thickies.

    I think that I've un-remembered that to the point of not remembering it
    at all. <sigh> I'll have to borrow a DVD, now.

    Why are so many IT Professionals and aspiring certification candidates
    searching the Internet for braindumps? Could it be because braindumps give
    you the best chance of understanding tha material to be covered on the exam?
    Maybe its because you will recieve practical insight to problem solving
    tactics in the IT Professional world today? Or perhaps it is becuase
    braindumps offer a timely solution to reading three tomes about your
    certification subject? No matter how you look at it, or size up the
    question, the answer is the same: "Yes - braindumps assist you in working
    smarter, not necissarily harder."

    ....or "How to Pass Exams Without Being Able to Spell".

    They are multiple choice... but strangely you do need a pretty damn good
    grasp of english in some of the questions to understand exactly what they're
    asking.

    They're also exceedingly expensive exams to fail.

    In this case, as its MS Business Systems, £88+Vat. Courses actually quite
    subsidised too at £750 ish each, but are < 1 week (2-3 days).
    I haven't had to pay it though. Might do if I reach my 5th or so fail of
    it....

    Go back and look at the text I posted, particularly the words "tha", "its"
    (for "it is"), "recieve", "becuase", and "necissarily". I didn't proofread
    the entire site - this was the first thing I clicked on. I accept that a
    poor command of English doesn't mean you're thick. It just makes you /seem/
    thick, which is an inferior marketing strategy for an IT training site
    IMNSHO.

    If you weren't then your response makes no sense at all. Platy took
    the piss out of the appalling spelling, and you responded saying you
    had to have good english skills to pass.

    Ideal for those vital last minute tips. All our MS guys swear by it.

    Which, I thought, was adding to what Platy had said.

    Shrug, I don't really care TBH :)

    I got 0% in one of my exams, I forget which.

    Unsurprising, given that my answer to question 1 was, and I quote,
    "I will not be attending the university of leicester next year",
    after which I put up my hand, submitted the paper and walked out.

    And that was the end of a beautiful academic career.

    Bwahahaha! Excellent performance. Wish I'd been there to see to see the
    faces on the exam monitors when you strolled in.
    Mind you, you should be commended for managing not to get ejected and even
    getting a passmark alone.

    Smugness is not in my nature honest :eek:) However I am a bit pleased because

    I got 94% when 70% was the minimum passmark.
    70 questions, over 90 minutes - of which I used about 40 minutes of.
    This means I used 34 secs approx for each question - 1 minute 17 secs was
    the allowed per question.

    I'm just a bit confused about the scoring - that means I failed on 4.2
    questions out of 70, and the only way I can rationale that is that some were
    multiple answer.
    Its not that I am not good at exams, I just panic like **** and hate going
    to them. Maybe I should go the Ogden route and **** the score I get :eek:)

    I don't think this exam though to be fair can be compared with the MCSE's
    etc - I've done sample of those and they are quite tough - but I am not
    certified in any of that stuff.
