Recently, advertisements of Computer international certification are widely overwhelming in the campus, street and lanes and so. After a consultation, I decided to take the MCSE, which is chosen by a large number of people. At that moment, there are two main reasons that can account for my choice. Firstly, there are specialized study classes for me to attend. Secondly, such certification conforms to developing trend of the time.
While registering, I thought that I could not keep learning to the end, nor did I have any extravagant hope for getting a certificate. In order to put some pressure on myself, I made a hard decision to pay all the fees once only, thus I wouldn’t let myself shrink back in the midway, only to force myself to learn. I still remember the situation that when I attended the lecture for the first time. I was really on nettles, both for the fear of unable to understand the teacher and for the worry of his perfunctory teaching. However, I was deeply attracted by the teacher, who had a special feature of witty words, rich experience and teaching method from the superficial to the deep. The first class was the “network foundation “. Regarding the weak foundation of my knowledge of the Microsoft, I felt that it was really difficult to learn. But I didn’t feel boring in the whole morning. I am definitely sure that I have selected a right course! (more…)

It is said that the adaptive exam is the major type of Microsoft’s examinations in the future. Therefore, the author introduces some skills of taking adaptive exam in detail here.
The quantity of the adaptive exam questions is not fixed; the questions are emerged dynamically with the basic principle is that the difficulty of the questions can be adjusted according to the case of questions answered before. For instance, if you do right a question, then the next question may be much harder, if you have done all the questions right, the difficulty will be increased all the time (of course, the total difficulty grade is that two or three, the most difficult one is just much flexible, but not the kind never seen or not knowing what is said). On the contrary, if you do wrong a question, then the next question will be much easier. And if the next question is right, the difficulty of following questions will be increased and so on. Such question model is based on the theory that if a candidate does a difficult question wrong, he cannot be considered as on a low lever, likewise, if he does right a simple question, he is not definitely on high level. Only in this way, from simple to difficult, can the candidate’s level be well calculated. Therefore, if a more difficult question comes out after answering a difficult one, then congratulations to you for the right answer of your previous question. Contrarily, if a simple question comes up, then you must have done wrong previous question. So if you do several simple questions continually, you must be careful. But there is no need to worry too much about it, since the adoption of adaptive exam score is relatively low, generally is between 550 to 600, and another chance will be given in the final if you really have done badly in all previous questions. However, turning back to previous questions is not allowed in this kind of examination. That is to say, you can not tag the unsure questions and leave them to the end. Each question has a NEXT button to the questions ahead but not a previous button to the questions before, which means you have to make the right judgment on each question. Anyway you must select an answer and once you click NEXT button, the answer will be submitted, can no longer be modified, so special attentions need to be paid on answering these questions. So far, the 70-291 exam is adaptive with examination time is 90 minutes and the admission score is 560 points. (more…)
