MTA Exam 98-361 CS - Please Help ASAP - It would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys:
I am brand spanking new to this development scene and have zero background in any type of IT so, please bare with me..I'm currently active duty military planning on getting out in the fall. I heard about the MSSA program
offered by Microsoft and decided to give it a shot since I meet the requirements (well, most). The reason I say most is my lack of background. Anyway, I just heard about the program about three or four weeks ago and didn't find out I met the requirements till
about two weeks ago..At that time, I was also advised that to get into the program I had to pass this exam (MTA 98-361) , and I had to pass it before the new year to get into the course starting in January.
Because I had such a short amount of time to prepare for the exam, of which I had no knowledge of, my leadership has been very flexible in letting me have time to study. I've taken great advantage of this and have spent countless hours at my desk studying.
Probably around 12-14hrs a day, to be honest. I thought I had been taking this stuff in and really learning a lot getting all of these hours in in the past couple of weeks, until today. I get to the building that is holding my certiport proctored exam, I sign
in, and when I do the proctor asks me, "is this the first time you're taking this exam?" At which point I replied yes and she advised me I had to pick the Visual Basic version of the test because it was my first time..My heart dropped and I got very
nervous. I began the test and it looked completely foreign to me. These last two weeks I had focused all of my energy on learning C# and didn't have even a slight idea of how to apply these methods to VB. I know, most of you guys that have been in this awhile
say this test is easy either way, but it wasn't for me, I'm not at that level. Needless to say, I failed...miserably, and was advised I could retake the test in 24hrs and I could take the correct test..real reassuring...When I say I did bad, it was BAD. Now
I'm beginning to question if I even have a grasp on the simple stuff, the basic understanding of all of this. I enjoyed what I was learning, hence the keeping motivation through those long days.
Is this not for me? I was advised that my results would be sent directly to MS and all I could think was GREAT, and I'm trying to get a job in this industry..is this going to look negatively on my behalf when MS sees that, even if I do somehow still manage
to pass the test that I've been studying for and make it into the program? I'm dedicated and wiling to put what I need to into this because, like I said, it really interests me..I'm just looking for some insight if this is a realistic path for me or not and,
if so, if anyone can enlighten me on how I can better prepare myself for the exam next week (CS version).
Is the MeasureUp practice testing as good of a source as it's made out to be? Or should I be going elsewhere? I've watched the MSDN MTA modules multiple times, read Wiley cover to cover, and looked up things I didn't know or wasn't sure of all over the internet.
I'm just wondering what all of you dev gurus would suggest for someone totally new, to learn all of these fundamentals in this short amount of time. Sorry for the lengthiness of this thread, I'm just a little stressed and frustrated.
Thanks much,
Joey
////I know there's lots of threads about the MTA 98-361, I'm just looking for particular help in regards to ////my current situation, thank you.//

To start with, I think that your proctor made a mistake. If you have been doing all your studying with C#, you should have taken your exam in C#, not in VB. Although the change from C# to VB is trivial for someone who has years of practice with both languages,
in your particular case you should have stuck with the one with which you were most familiar.
As a second piece of advice, you need some practice rather than just stuudy time. The questions in the MTA exams are in general very easy to reply if you have actually done the things that they are talking about (versus just having studied them on paper).
For this exam about "development fundamentals" I would recommend that you write a few simple programs that exercise the various topics covered in the "skills measured" section of the exam description page. For instance, when you see the
topic labelled "For loops, While loops, Do...While loops, and recursion", go ahead and write a programs with several types of loops and verify that you understand how to write them, how they work, and that they produce the results that you expected.
Do the same with recursion. Repeat this for every entry in the list of Skills Measured, and you should be ready to take the exam.

About ACE exam for Lr5

Hi guys,
i want to take the exam for Adobe Lightroom Expert in Lightroom 5 [not 4].i went to Pearson`s VUE page and i see that IS a Lightroom 5 exam [code:9A0-361 Lightroom 5 ACE Exam English ]
I also check at examaids and they also have a Lr5 ACE exam aid.So far so good BUT i ask ACE portal in facebook and they told me that the Lr5 exam is in beta version and is not officially released yet
I mail to ask examaids and they confirm the same think as ACE portal said : "..we are still waiting for the exam to be released. ..."
Can anyone have any experience about this? did you guys know when Lightroom 5 exam is officially released ?
Thanks a lot for your time!!!

Lily, I've been through this discussion several times over the years - of course I'm not naive and think the exam is the only thing that proves you are a good instructor. But it is the starting point. If someone is a poor instructor, there are checks and balances in place - ACIs are required to offer a survey after each class that is sent to Adobe to monitor in-class instruction quality.
According to the Adobe Training guidelines, ACEs are technically not qualified to teach. And before you fly off the handle, I know there are ACEs out there than CAN teach and would probably do very well to take the next step and get their ACI certs. However, many ACEs are tech support, users who wanted the cert for career goals, etc. Sure you can "memorize the help menu" but that is not the only resource for the exam. The exams have always been based on a lot of different aspects of the software and nowhere does it say that the Help menu is the only resource for materials. It doesn't make the exam any less valid.
I've been an ACI for the past 10 years in various softwares and have been involved in the Certified community in various capacities including authoring the most recent round of AI exams. The examples you give are not unique to Captivate and there will always be less than qualified "experts" but they are the minority. Being certified is one step to placing you above the others. Your reputation and feedback from clients/students helps as well.
My question is if you find the exams to be so pointless what would you do in lieu of the exams to prove that someone is certified in Adobe software? If there is no certification program, anyone could say they are an expert in something without recourse.

Suggestion for a new OCA / OCE exam

I have noticed that there are a lot of candidates who learn for an exam. There seems to be a lot of incentive to studying for the exam and "learning" the material.
However, there are also a lot of candidates who do not understand the 'certification', 'learning', 'followup' processes. It also seems that if there is no reward, such as a certificate, skills and processes are overlooked or misunderstood.
I suggest an OCA (or perhaps an OCE) level exam that tests the candidate for "How to find information on Education.oracle.com, Certification.oracle.com, Certview.oracle.com, Tahiti.oracle.com, OTN.oracle.com"; "What happens after you write the exam and how long do I have to wait"; "Why I should have only one testing ID"; "What is a FAQ"; "Ability to use internet search engines and how to formulate questions"; "Why do forum administrators bother with Forum Stickies", and the like.
While somewhat tongue-in-cheek (or at least cheeky), I encourage thinking about this. We are churning out people who supposedly are professionals, and yet some have no idea what that 'professional' icon means or where to find out more information about it.

Well not an OCA or an OCE certificate but perhaps an OCS, and that could be useful for partners as well. The problem is if offered online it would be abused.
I get concerned when a candidate newly registered for OTN has just passed the high stakes exam for an OCA wonders where their certificate is. It is a concern they don't seem to have researched the certification process much. The lack of familiarity with the certification process seems slightly concerning ... and there is probably a lack of familiarity with the Oracle websites as well, which is not what one would expect from a certified person.
The new OTN registration isn't a definite indicator of a problem here, but it is a strong indicator there may be something unsatisfactory.
Indeed the absolute worse case is an SQL exam online by proxy taker followed by braindump use or a proxy take of the high stakes exams.
In practice I would suspect that an unbalanced delivery of the WDP training or third party training or university training may be a culprit. (and I may be wrong here). (Note there seems to be an increasing tendency for some universities to focus on education by certification study ... ).
I really think it would be useful if a candidate was required to register with Oracle (by means of an SSO/OTN account) before being able to book a certification examination rather than being simply able to goto Pearson VUE/Prometric (This is the case with a lot of other Testing programmes, and was the case with Sun until recently). IMHO This would encourage a good 'first contact' with Oracle and would encourage the following benefits:
- A relationship with Oracle would be established sooner during the exam preparation process.
- There would be an opportunity to point the candidate at useful processes, authorized learning methods and resources via email.
- An earlier point in the learning process to discourage bad learning technique
- The sales people would love the opportunity to sell oracle training.
I think there is an argument for requiring OTN registration at least a month before a certification exam can be booked ... exceptions being if an Oracle University Course has been attended. However the logistics would probably fail on this and it could hurt people who have just left an employment.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 07-Apr-2010 00:57 PS: - Hans - You also didnt great job with one of the sticky announcements. I really think however now that Prometric / Pearson Transition has happened and merge with Sun is stable all the sticky posts should be reviewed and rolled into one entitled something eyecatching like only silly people should not read this FAQ first

In competitive exams photo in "true color" format.... How to do it in adobe photoshop please replay it.....

In competitive exams photo in "true color" format.... How to do it in adobe photoshop>>> please replay it.....

Mayuk, you are not making any sense here.
True color (24-bit)
"True Color" redirects here. For images with natural color rendition, see true-color.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Truecolor.png 24 bits (16,777,216 colors, "truecolor")
True color supports 24-bit for three RGB colors. It provides a method of representing and storing graphical-image information (especially in computer processing) in an RGB color space such that a very large number of colors, shades, and hues can be displayed in an image, such as in high-quality photographic images or complex graphics. Usually, true color is defined to mean 256 shades of red, green, and blue, for a total of 224 or 16,777,216 color variations. The human eye can discriminate up to ten million colors.[13]
Color images composed from 3 grayscale images A, B & C assigned to R,G & B in different orders.
"True color" can also refer to an RGB display-mode that does not need a color look-up table (CLUT).
For each pixel, generally one byte is used for each channel while the fourth byte (if present) is being used either as an alpha channel, data, or simply ignored. Byte order is usually either RGB or BGR. Some systems exist with more than 8 bits per channel, and these are often also referred to as true color (for example a 48-bit true-color scanner).
Even with true color, monochromatic images, which are restricted to 256 levels, owing to their single channel, can sometimes still reveal visible banding artifacts.
True color, like other RGB color models, cannot express colors outside of the gamut of its RGB color space (generally sRGB).
Macintosh systems refer to 24-bit color as "millions of colors".
RGBA color space, or 32-bit color, is a variant of true color in which the additional 8-bit is allocated to transparency and indicates how transparent is the element to which the color is assigned, when overlaid on other elements.

Exam question - follow-up point

Have now resolved the previous coding problem...many thanks to all who helped and aided my understanding.
as a follow-up question -
is it possible to reference "Sets" as an object in a "Map"
the exam question requires a "Map" to be created referencing a String "studentName" and the collection of books that the "student" has read (see previous coding question - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5196761)
current code is as follows (the Map studentRecords has previously been referenced as a private instance variable):-
public void createReadingRecords()
String studentName;
Set<String> booksRead = new HashSet<String>();
do
studentName = (OUDialog.request("Please input the student name or * to finish","));
while
(!studentName.equals("*"));
booksRead = this.collectBooksRead();
studentRecords.put(studentName,booksRead);
}

The Set is the "value" of the map, which is stored under a "key", which is the student name. You can use the get(key) method of the map to retrieve the value associated with that key, or you can get a collection of all the values with the values() method.

night
using RMAN scripts. On Friday your database crashes. Now you want to
use the
backups from last Sunday night to restore your database. How can you
do this?

was running in ARCHIVE
LOG mode.
B. Issue the RECOVER command from within RMAN. RMAN determines which
data files to
restore, and which archive logs to use.
C. Issue the RESTORE and RECOVER commands from within RMAN. RMAN

Question: 257
Users in your development database complain that they are getting the
following error while trying
to execute a query on the SALES_HISTORY table:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
While investigating the reason, you find that a hardware failure
occured, resulting in the loss of
one of the available disk drives used by the database. While waitinig
for a replacement drive, the
OBA removed the un-needed data from the database and during the
removl the
SALES_HISTORY table was dropped accidentally.
Within few minutes a second hardware failure corrupted another disk
drive, resulting in
the loss of the current online redo log files and the logical back
ups of the database. The redo log
files were not multiplexed and the current redo log file is not yet
archived.
Which recovery method would you follow to recover the SALES_HISTORY
table?
A - Open Database complete recovery
B - Cancel-Based incomplete recoveryC - Change-Based incomplete recovery
D - Closed Database complete recovery
E - Recovery using the backup control file
[ But how that will restore sales_history table, as when it got drop implicitly issue commit , switch redo log file]
Question: 318
Which statement is true regarding database writer process (DBWn)?
A - It writes only committed data to the data riles.
B - It synchronizes the database buffer cache and the data files
regularly.C - It makes changes to data blocks in the database buffer cache when
required.
D - It is possible to configure more than one database writer
process, but this is useful only on
uniprocessor systems
[ Is D also not correct ]
