SharePoint Exams

Did the Customizing SharePoint exam and failed spectacularly, 234 with 700 needed to pass! Why? The exam has about 33% on CMS, 33% on integrating CMS with SPS and 33% on writing Web Parts with Visual Studio. I got about 12 questions out of 50. I can't say anything about specific questions, that'd be cheating, but I'm glad I did it. Even the CMS stuff was all programming.

Second exam more about which programs to use to do what: SPS, WSS, CMS, Indexing server, Bixtalk, InfoPath, Commerce server, and how these whould work together, I got 341 this time, which was better, and the questions were more about configurubg rather than programming, still, the exams lacked a reel-world feel, but I suppose the answers have to be unambiguous, and in the real word what the "best" solution is can be simply your point of view.

Now I know I'll need to study a lot more of the other Portal tools if I want to pass, for SharePoint, my main weakness was web parts. Of the 51 questions, only about 7 or so had nothing to do with SharePoint.

The big warning here is: these are not SharePoint exams, they are MS Portal solutions exams, there will I'm sure be an MCP for SharePoint eventually, but for now, these are all there are
