MCP Exam 70-536 Experiences (Development | .NET | Personal | Education)

I’ve recently passed the MCP exam 70-536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 – Application Development Foundation. My overall experience has been very positive. Although there are a few not so relevant topics I think that most of them are a must-know if you’re a .NET developer. I found the exam quite easy with only a few really nitpicking questions. Maybe I was just lucky but it was a pleasant surprise for me.

I used the Microsoft Self-Paced Training Kit as the study guide. In spite of the mistakes it contains (see errata) I still find it a useful overview of the topics covered by the exam. I even think of it as a great overview of .NET framework for every developer even if he’s not considering taking the exam. On the other hand it really shouldn’t be your only resource, more of a starting point to direct you to the topics you realize you don’t know enough about. MSDN or a more specialized book can help you from there on.

If you’re interested, I’m selling my own copy of the book at a reduced price. It is in mint condition, I’ve even left the 15% off voucher unused. On a side note: here you can always see the list of items I am selling. The link is listed among my other sites in the left column of this page.

Congrats. If i understand correctly, reading this book (and some experience in .NET development) is enough, to pass the exam?

It was for me. Apart from some practice exams that came with the book. They were helpful, too.
