Microsoft is a well known certification vendor. Popular with employers and highly esteemed among the I.T community, Microsoft certifications are certainly not the easiest to pass. You really do have to know your stuff for these exams; otherwise you could end up failing over and over again. Here’s a few training methods that will hopefully help you pass.
Passing the MCITP or any Microsoft certification is about working extremely hard on your revision. Reading a book upon the subject alone works for some people, but not everyone. However, reading upon the subject can be part of your revision plan, rather than the only method.
Tip 1: You will need to devise a revision plan that suits you. Reading, writing, making diagrams, using computer based training and even recording yourself can be handy at learning the stuff. Always try to start by learning the basic concepts and then expanding upon them – this is useful for making links in your mind – enabling you to recall the information much easier.
Tip 2: Make sure you understand the information, rather than just remember it. This will help you answer tricky questions on the exam paper which may have been completely rephrased. Don’t just learn the facts either, try to understand the concepts behind them. It will give you a much wider understanding of why it happens, rather than just ‘the what’.
Tip 3: To further your study into the ‘what’s’ and ‘whys’ behind the concepts, go through them on your computer. Actually physically do the tasks, so that you not only understand it theoretically but in practice too.
Tip 4: Get firmly acquainted with the jargon and acronyms. No person taking a Microsoft exam can expect to pass without knowing the jargon or the acronyms. Failing to learn this is likely to lead to you failing the exam.
Tip 5: Test yourself over and over again using a revision guide, online tests or computer based training. Each time look at exactly what you got wrong and why. You can then move on to correcting your mistakes and improve your score each time.
Tip 6: In the actual exam read the questions twice through thoroughly. This is vital, as otherwise you could overlook a tiny detail which could have large effect on the outcome/answer.
Tip 7: Use what you know to determine the wrong answers in each question. Finding the wrong answer first can help you decipher which is the right one.
Tip 8: Look at the whole scenario in each question, as one small but seemingly insignificant detail could affect the answer. Moreover, try to always have a clear picture in your mind of what works in the given scenario and what does not; it may help you find the answer.
Tip 9: Although a technical and knowledge based exam, Microsoft certifications do often look for the best solution practically, rather than technically. Always keep this in mind, as it may help not only your revision but may help you pass the exam.
Tip 10: Look at the language they use in the questions. Some questions often trick those being examined by using vaguer language. For instance, many I.T experts have found the ‘what meets the required’ question the most misread question by those taking Microsoft exams.
