Microsoft Certification-Tips and tricks in the hour of exam!

It is almost the rule in all courses I teach, the questions regarding the tips to have a good use in the race. ... So I decided to post some tips for a better use of the test without studying certificação.Claro that the tips will not be worth the nothing! And my tips are not rules, over time, each in its own way develops a strategy to perform the tests.

Previously, I posted other tips related to the certification process ...

Microsoft Certification - Where to start?
Microsoft Certification - Dumps
Microsoft Certification - How to study for the exam!

... And soon, I will surely post more! Rss

Now, let's get to! Below are some tips for the hour of trial:

  • Choose from the center of evidence:
    • The choice of the center is proof enough importante.Prefira testing centers with few machines, so we can limit the amount of people in one room, reducing the chance of those candidates who are talking boring, and "thinking out loud." In the case of centers of tests with many machines (5 or more), look for unpopular times such as weekends in the morning, etc.. (Usually the center of evidence can you tell how many candidates are going to prove in your schedule.).
    • Choose the testing centers whose place of application of evidence, is reserved and with little fuss or not to take away your concentration.
  • Arrive before the scheduled test:
    • Arrive at the center of events, well in advance to start the race with ease, without running, so you arrive, having a coffee, go to the bathroom, finally gets ready physically and mentally, for the hour of trial.
  • Research before the race:
    • Before the examination starts, go through an assessment of knowledge and experience on the platform and conteúdo.Desde or product involved in the time of the NT that has a legend that if you score the lowest in this study, evidence has been less aggressive in content rss ... .... I do not know if this is real, but as my modesty prevents me from pointing out the highest levels of expertise and experience, always follow this tip! rs
  • During the test:
    • VERY IMPORTANT for the duration of the test: BE QUIET! I've seen many candidates who studied hard and the hours of proof of purely psychological disarray did not have a good use, so avoid the "white".
    • Do not waste time with questions that are not sure of the answers, mark it for review and answer the next!
    • Pay attention to the question, there are clues to the person (s) response (s) right (s):
      • Attention at the beginning of the issues where we have information regarding the versions of operating systems and network topology and domains.
      • Note also in requesting the questão.Muitas times are given information not relevant to the question, just to confuse the candidato.Cuidado expressions as smaller enforce administrative solution faster, more secure solution, finally, calls attention to what really question.
      • If the idea does not answer a question, go ahead and mark it for revisão.Na review, analyze better the question in order to undo some of the answers, so maybe it is easier to account for elimination!

These are simple tips that can help in times of trial, especially those just starting out in certificação.No is more than just studying you'll be fine!

I hope it's useful!

Microsoft Certification - How to study for the exam!

Several people question me in training, what better way to study for a good performance in tests of certificação.Este is a very particular point of each, since each person has different ways of absorbing information.

In this sense, I can pass safely which is the way I prepare for exams, so each can use the way you see fit.

What we now start to put in mind is that the issues of proof are different from the actual experience we have with the product in "real life", which often causes the failure of experienced consultants.

When I study for a Microsoft certification exam, the first step is to verify the matter of proof, this can be easily checked on site examinations CatalogMicrosoft.Uma information from this catalog is very interesting that it shows how each procentagem issue in the race! And that's pretty cool so we can focus on more important matters.

The material I recommend for study, is the Training Kit from Microsoft (which is a publication focused on the examination). This material includes all matter of proof, beyond the material in digital format and simulated.

I also use other information sources such as the Internet, the official website of the product, TechNet, expert blogs, help the product, video lectures ,laboratories , training etc ... The official attendance is very important (especially if the instructor is good) and greatly accelerate the understanding of matter, the official course material (MOC) provides a base on products, making it almost always necessary to consult another source to supplement the information.

After the study and general understanding of the issues covered in the test (thetime required for the study of matter, directly depends on the time devoted to this study X the ability to absorb information), it is time to put their knowledge to the test through simulados.Is important to "train" the simulated, then we can have a closer experience of the test (timing, interface, etc.).

Beware DUMP's ... I'm not going to dwell on the subject, because I already expressed my opinion about it . The simulations are to recommend theTranscender , the next in-Training Kit (Self-Paced) and any other simulated honest.

The technique I use with simulated is as follows ...

... I'm answering the questions for practice, no doubt about that meeting in question, I return to study materials (mentioned above) in order to find the answer to the question of simulated and only then respond to the simulated exhaustively questão.Pratique to achieve greater than 85% correct on the issues (of course this time may also vary according to your commitment and willingness to studies) ... after that, just go to prove!

Good luck to everyone!

Soon I will write some techniques to do well at test time!

I hope this is helpful!!

Microsoft certification – where to start?

 

I'm starting with this article, a series of articles concerning Percebí that Microsoft certifications. many professionals mainly beginners, has many doubts regarding the path should follow and what to do to move forward in their careers. one of these paths is the specialization in technologies that chose to act and the main way of proving this specialization is through certification.

The first step is to decide which branch you want to act, whether in infrastructure, database, development, etc… and once chosen this "branch", we need to decide what "inside" of each we specialize. Example: assuming you chose infrastructure, covering below we do it.this (Exchange. OCS, etc.), security (firewalls, etc), platform (operating system, etc.), hardware, connectivity, directory services, etc…

Just opting for a specific product or area and often by a personal inclination or even accidentally (through some activity imposed at work or project, etc).

Choice made, the next step is to map the way forward for specialization in technology concerned; We can get this study finding out what is the maximum level of specialization in product and/or technology that can be obtained, then we should start hitting their prerequisites!

Regards certifications, we must remember that it serves as a kind of proof that the manufacturer of its specialization in some product or technology; no certification or course (official or not) replaces the experience in real situations. However experience without technique also is not indicated, because if "harvesting" much to perform procedures and often creating "Addictions" not knowing the best practices and concepts for the tools. therefore, we must seek a balance between the study and practice!

As a Microsoft trainer, I am always asked for which the student must follow path for certification …. What proof should I do first? I specialize in client or server? I have to take the certification of your old product and migrate to certification of new or already begin at new? … The answers to such questions may vary according to the profile and or the day to day professional. If a professional working in a company where has the same has a career plan and the company has an old product deployed in large scale in the environment, I believe that the best immediate career and need professional is currently specialise in the product you are working and then migrate to the new. Already for a professional consultancy believe to be more interesting to invest in new products, since consultants often are searched based on their knowledge in the novelties of the market there are professionals who want to specialize in support, so we specialize in systems customers … others want to be network administrators then specialize in server systems … etc.

I have an article on the Microsoft careers might help:

Any doubt, sit in the provision for help! I think would be more cool post doubt shaped comment, because your questions may also be questions from other people.

I hope it is useful!

Microsoft certification – Dumps

A save everyone!!!

In this article I discuss a subject at least controversial … dumps ...

The DUMPS are simulated that contains simply the same questions of proof! that's right!! I don't know how to make the "Pilantras" to copy the questions of evidence, but they do and post in files of various formats and sizes …

There are some DUMPS famous nowadays as the TESTKING, PASS4SURE, BRAINDUMPS, etc… some containing over 400 questions and all containing errors!!

The big problem is not open to disclosure of this garbage on the Internet, and yes the large-scale use of same by "professionals" of technology. what happens:

  1. Our friend "professional" technology, knowing the importance that certification has on a selection process on the market; Download the DUMPS, decorates all or most of the questions and goes to the evidence.
  2. Arriving at our "professional" is a 3-hour exam in 15 minutes and takes 1000 (maximum note) or close!! Wow!!! The kra is really fera!!! … So our friend manages several certifications in record time!
  3. Pleased with the great achievement, our "expert certificate" presents itself to the labour market with an enviable range of certifications and therefore even manages to cheat in some interviews, achieving a vague outline.
  4. But the smart forgets that his knowledge (attested by certificates) will be charged and the same thanks to show service! .... and here we??? A total fiasco!! The fantastic "sovereign of certifications" does not dominate nor most basic concepts of products and technologies which is certificate. Result: the professional falls into disrepute and along with it certification. with that professional profile being discredited by the employer, a professional who studied, courses, research, and has proven its effort and knowledge passing on evidence; will be viewed with distrust and disrepute.

I know many "professionals of TK (Testking)" some with dozens of certifications, mas na hora de a migration, a disaster recovery or is, at the time of "Let's see" cannot solve NOTHING! some of these professionals are ministering in classroom trainings (looks that danger!) and some even disseminating the dumps as something cool!!

Always I am asked by students about dumps … some attempt to justify the use of DUMPS for having the explanation regarding answers the question, by not exist exams serious free, etc. Good, dumps often contains the wrong answers and explanations; or If search-mos will find several best simulated serious, we have some even free on sites like the MCP Brazil and nobody is silly not to know that we have to download everything on the Internet.

Using DUMPS you are fooling themselves! Usually give my students an example of a man who simply puts a black belt at the waist and going to the gym … for all who see it is unquestionably a black belt, but and "time of shitload"? what grace having X certifications and don't know about what is Personal certificate? cease to cheat and study, invest in their careers with courses, internships, research, etc ... the important thing is to have a solid understanding and always get the same or, in the "time of shitload" you will make beautiful!!

Soon I'll post an article about some techniques to study the evidence.
