Passed 70-523 Exam

Monday, January 24, 2011

On Saturday 22 January 2010, I took the 70-523 exam - Upgrade: Transition your MCPD .NET Framework 3.5 Web Developer Skills to MCPD .NET Framework 4 Web Developer, and passed with 100% marks on first attempt. I feel the WCF part is the hardest part of this exam and ASP.NET 4.0 part is not harder than other parts. Any one that wants to give this exam, I will highly recommend to read .Net upgrade Exam 70-523 – Exam Study Notes.

Now I have the following awards/certifications,

KU Gold Medalist in MCS
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) (ASP.NET 3.5)
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) (.NET Framework 4, Web Applications)
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) (.NET Framework 4, Service Communication Applications)
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) (.NET Framework 4, Data Access)
Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) (ASP.NET 3.5)
Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) (Web Developer 4)
Most Valuable Blogger (MVB)
Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP)

I am very thankful to my friends for all of the incredible support. Specially thanks to Rick.

Hi. Please leave a comment. I saw you took a mcts exam for .net framework 4, data access. What should I expect to see on that type of exam. I will be taking it soon. If you could just tell me what to study.

This will be the first test I will have taken for certification. Thanks and congrats on the 100%
