please i have been working with .net for bout 2 years now, and i guess its time for me to have ma MCTS and MCPD, does anyone have any idea where i could get dumps, so i could get familiar with the questions, asp.net to be precise
Why do you want dumps? if you cheat it will devalue the certification, the questions are PRACTICAL rather than THEORETICAL. There are so many people out there that can talk you to sleep about programming but when it comes down to the nitty gritty they canot code a "Hello world " program. I have an MCPD (C#) so I can tell you how to get one:
1. The MS books are not enough, use the books as pointers to what you need to know and make MSDN your favourite destination
2. Keep coding and practicing all the concepts you come across: Threading, Service Processing, and Application Domains, Serialization and I/O, collections etc
3. Do an end of chapter assessment - its just a way to revise what you covered, if you have done step 1 you can skip the labs unless you are interested
4. Finally buy Self Test software. It has questions which are in the exact format as the exam and its a great lerning tool, it costs about £60 ($100) per exam.
Only when you have done these steps will you become a pro. And finally the MCPD exam is very hard because there are not alot of study materials for it, this is because MS expects 'architects' with years of experience to take the exam not inexperienced students.
good luck.
