Evaluation of 70-536
I passed the exam 70-536 yesterday. After the exam you get a print-out stating were you did well and not so well. From the printout I see that I was best in the topic "Embedding Configuration, Diagnostics, Management, and Installation features into a .NET Framework application" and "Implementing globalization, drawing, and text manipulation functionality in a .NET Framework application". My worst topic was "Developing applications that use system types and applications".
However, all in all I’m pretty satisfied with my performance on the exam. It has been quite beneficial to actually go take an exam and get a feel for the format and types of questions asked. Furthermore, I think I have a better idea on how to prep for the coming exams.
Expect to hear more about this as I prepare, take, and hopefully pass more exams and achieve certification status.

Hi kristian, I am a recent graduate in the UK and planning to apply for the MACH which is also held here. Reached to your blog through searching for info on the program.
Nice to meet you, and if everything goes well we will be long distance colleagues in a couple of months

Hi Kristian
congratulations for the certification
I’m preparing for taking this exam too, I had read the book from cover to cover (official certification guide) but there is a lot to learn, my question is:the level of the question is different for the ones presented in the official book, or what you think is the best way to get prepared, if you can give me a look and feel of the questions they gave you or wich area i must put more attention now, i’m planning to take the test on 2/20/08 so any help or comment its really appreciated
i hope you can give me an answer soon, thank you

Hey Raul,
The practice tests on the accompanying CD are fairly good and accurate. However, I’d recommend using another practice test supplier aswell. Such as MeasureUp and Trancender. That gives you a basic understanding of the types of questions asked, and the level. Still nothing beats practical experience building and using the stuff.
Good luck
