Hi

I've got 4 weeks to go until I take my first MOUS exam, Word 97 Expert, and then the other 3 expert exams in quick succesion after that. I've got study guides, i've been onthe courses, i've got practice exams and I use the packages regularly, however I am starting to panic now.
Has anyone out there taken these exams and how did you find them?
I'm also quite annoyed as I wanted to become a MOUS Approved Instructor, and you only had to pass 2 of the exams at expert level, however Microsoft have now changed their mind and you have to do all 4 before you can apply. This is really sucky as far as I'm concerned as I wanted to take my time taking the exams rather than cramming them all in. I'm sure however that Microsoft think that yet again they're doing the right thing
*sigh*

I have had the great fun of taking the Word 97 Expert Exam. The exam I found was very thorough. It went though everything that I had done in my self study. It covers all the objectives. But it's a very good exam and you should have fun taking it. It's not a lot of just multiple choice questions, infact there are no multiple choice questions. It actually a hands on exam. So make sure you know everything in the objectives.

You probably will find that you will use all the time that is allotted for the exam. I found that I used all the time.

But Like I Said before It's fun.

Don't Panic. If you know your stuff you should do well.

Good Luck.

Thats the evil beauty of certification.

You study / pay / acheive. They change the requirements or inform you that the certification will expire.

It's up to you. Will the cert prove your worth / keep or get a job or is it a personal challenge?

Upgrades of software and knowledge are most likely mandatory.

It's a challenge. Choose wisely grasshopper.
