In this blog post, I will write a review on the 70-315 (Developing and Implementing Web Applications with MS visual C# and MS VS.NET) exam provided by UCertify.com.

The importance of preparation exams:

After you finish reading all the materials required for 70-315 exam, it is recommended to take a practice test before the official one. The practice test provided by Ucertify.com will give you an excellent idea about the type of questions you will face and prepare you both technically and mentally in order to pass the exam from the first try.

Before starting the test, it is recommended to read the exam objectives. After that, take a look into the Study Tips which, in my opinion, gives you a proper orientation about Microsoft exams and how to be fully prepared especially if it was the first exam you are taking.

Taking the test:

 This will help you identify your weakness in order to enable you to focus on these topics. Each test you take is provided with a count down timer. This timer resembles to the timer provided in the real exam in this way, you can be sure that you will finish all the questions before you are running out of time.  Taking advantage of the “Test History” using UCertify.com exam preparation will give you a better visual idea about each test you took, percentage of the questions answered, and the most important property is the “Remark” column in which you can check their remarks on each test.

One tip to consider during the exam is to take the questions that you can answer easily and mark the hard questions to be reviewed later. Using this technique will help you

1- Answering as much questions as you can
2- Refreshing your mind maybe later you could find the proper answer.

Make sure also to review the explanation of both correct and incorrect answers to ensure better understanding and learning.
Another cool feature is the Learning mode while taking the exam which enables you to get a feedback of the question before taking the next one.


Questions Engine:

 In a technical point of view and considering the fact that I already passed this exam, I can say that the questions provided are efficient, cover all the topics required, and resemble to the actual exam questions. Much more, the tests seem to be harder than the official one which is good in this case because it guarantees that you will pass the actual exam.
Each required topic has its own set of questions, once you identify your weakness you can create a custom test to focus on this topic.

N.B: Make sure to update frequently the questions by going to File/Update PrepEngine.

Conclusion:
 The idea is not just passing the actual exam; of course it is our main goal but also to improve our skills and ensure that we fully understand all the required topics which I think UCertify.com made it easy on us!
