I made sure internet connection is not a problem. I had to set the venue at a test center in Manila. I only had 2 hours of sleep and I was inside the bus on or before 3AM. 9AM is the exam time and I was already at the vicinity 2 hours before. I looked for a place where I can eat, sit and empty my mind.
The test comprises of 50 questions with a passing score of 700. My score is 774. If you are weak at application debugging and applying security then you need to get high scores at program flow, create and use types and etc. That is the same case as mine.
When taking the exam push yourself but take your time. Read thoroughly.
Here is how I prepared.
- Read MCSD Certification toolkit Exam 70-483 Programming in C# – WROX (at least 3x)
- Read Programming in C# 70-483 Microsoft Publication (at least 2x)
- Measure-up official practice exam – downloadable with 30 day free online test. Make sure you are getting 90% something percentile consistently.
- MSDN
- When in the mood practice on hand.
