Good.2.Be.Back

I'm back! Was knocked-out for a few days but I survived. Took my 71-536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Application Development Foundation exam today. This is the second .NET 2.0 exam I took so far and is also the most important exam because it is a core requirement in all the MCTS .NET credential. Mess this one up and all the TS credentials go down with it.

I'll skip all the usual rants about the exam (how I did not have time to prepare for it and how it tried to kill me) and go straight into the juicy stuff. Today, I had a new experience - The VUE Test Driver crashed while I was reviewing my answers. The crash effectively wiped out my answer for one question and shutdown the test application without printing my temporary transcript.

I was so worried as I had spent 4 hours in the exam and I do not wish to take it again because of such problem. Luckily, the exam administrator recovered the session for me but I still have one question being resetted. There is nothing much that I can do but to accept it. I left a comment on the test before I exited.

I've been taking so many exams for the past few weeks (or was it months) and I'm not sure if I'm passing them. Hate the suspense. Well, I have just received some important tasks and hence, I will need to re-prioritize and de-emphasize the exams for a moment. Should be getting busy for the next few months. I still have 3 more exams scheduled. Hope I can still find the time to prepare for them.
