Microsoft exams are not theory based exams.Microsoft learning suggest you must have one year experience working on platforms, on which you have planned to take exams .. you must have some practical knowledge.. well... in contrast,,
In companies, you won't get hold on those operating system until you have certification
or
some experience
or
any reference (for that post)
But lots of pals study & pass
microsoft exams without industrial experience . I have passed microsoft exams & even you can pass these microsoft exams easily! if you are really interested in computer & network technologies..
Here are few habits which you can adopt too like Microsoft professionals, that useful to get done Microsoft exams certifications:
* Experiments, practicals, installations:Do every installation manually..especially you are new to It field, (anybody who is concern to technologies won't afraid to do anything with comp... )
but if you are new to IT field & hesitate to do something unknown... experiment all the options & gain experience.
You do all games installations & all.. even this is same as to follow onscreen instructions..
In fact,Microsoft exams based on these options, setting etc. So try each & every option you can.. you know..
you understand whats written on screen...
you can understand whats written message on screen..
&
we are not so dump that we can make serious problem to our hardware..
&
some software crashes we can handle them..
i mean.. we can troubleshoot them.. reinstall them..
&
that's what Microsoft professionals job 'to troubleshoot'...
Reading " Microsoft help" :Any Microsoft's operating system's help menu is a treasures of knowledge..
If you have ever checked & read the Microsoft's help then you will know.. after all which exams you are giving about man!!! Microsoft Operating system's !!!
just go to help & search FDISK - you will get detail knowledge .. all hard disk types, different command options.. everything.. basic knowledge you need to know.. you will get it from there.. & even more than just basic knowledge..
when i was working in It firm I was addicted to read XP help .. & then somehow i connected to these microsoft exams.. I felt all these microsoft exams easy.. cause all stuff about operating systems require to learn for microsoft exams, i had already covered in reading Xp help menu..
Troubleshooting & computer maintenance:Solve your & any body's PC problem..
not only software problem but hardware too.. search for help on net to solve those problems... after all you want to be Microsoft professionals.
It is useful in Industrial job but is it useful for microsoft exams ?
of-course,
If you have seen Microsoft exams result report... in some old reports you will find microsoft's testing method on different different levels.. such as maintenance, troubleshooting, its services, features etc. on how much you know..
Do as directed:whenever you read
microsoft exams study guide or books.. Do as suggested.. Do whatever you are learning from the book.. practice all options mention in the book..
read all kinds of stuff.. & select which is the best for you... & revise it..
Do not compare yourself with anybody..follow your own path...
Select training method which is best for you.. not what other select...
select exam which are in your interests.. not what other choose.
Plan your own path & stick to it..
read other people stories & know that even you can do it in your own way...
there are cheating ways that people use to pass exams..
but it's really not worth to loose your integrity & untrust yourself for these simple microsoft exams.. which you can easily passed with little effort & planning. Just do not waist chance to be proud of yourself by giving Microsoft exams yourself.....
Remember thousands of people pass
Microsoft exams & become Microsoft certified, with some dedication & simple efforts.. there is no reason, that you can't pass microsoft exams.
