98-349 - Preparation Questions

RBH

Hello everyone,

I am trying to switch my career to IT. I don't have any IT work experience, and my only experience with computers is using my personal computer at home and fixing little things.

I know that MTA exams normally don't hold much value in the job market, but I believe it is a good step for someone like me who is starting afresh. If I can pass a few MTA exams, it will give me a much needed morale boost.

I am thinking of taking the 98-349 Windows OS exam.

I have spent the last few weeks reading the following books:

MS Windows OS System by Tom Carpenter (Sybex)
Windows OS Fundamentals - Microsoft Official Academic Course.
MTA Student Study Guide

From your experience, do you think that by reading the above materials, I am sufficiently prepared to take the exam?

Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes they will help. I will state this...knowing Windows 7/8 from your own experiences will help as well. If you are able to troubleshoot your own Windows OS issues, you should be OK for this exam.

Thanks for your response steelodon.

Would appreciate inputs from other members of this forum who have taken this exam. Kindly let me know.

I signed up for the free CBT Nuggets 7 day trial. Watched all the videos. I used the link below as a practice test, only missed 3 out of 50 questions. I then took and passed the exam.

Keep in mind that I have been doing this for a few years. If you are brand new to this you may want to read a book in addition to the videos to get some extra info.

Yes they'll surely help. This one was my first certification. I used these books, along with a Gmetrix and MeasureUP practise tests and passed. Anyways, the exam is pretty easy if you have a hands-on knowledge and you know the 'Microsoft definitions' for their products.
