Passed 98-375

Passed 98-375 today. Similar negative experience with other MTA exams I have taken. Material is a little too random and not focused on what entry level skills should be. Instead a mixed bag of randomness which seems to have no logic behind it.

Over all bad experience. I think the test designers and material prep people are completely out of touch with each other.

Prep Material -
1) Completed official MVA videos (avoid these, there are two series, both not much related to the exam)
2) Completed a course from vtc.com on HTML5 ( a good primer)
3) Completed official course from Microsoft 70-480 Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 (great class)
4) Completed official book courseware

Experience
1) 6+ years in eCom support for a major ecom player
2) Managed and developed sites for small companies since I was a kid


Next up for me to recertify on CCNA. I let my CCNP/CCNA lapse and I could use the refresher on networking. Looking at this new CCNA Cyber Sec and CCNA Sec which could be fun

Congrats!

With the server fundamentals that i'm currently running through, they briefly mention that all MTA's are designed to get you to understand some concepts, learn some new technologies/applications and for you to go off and play with them/research. I'm not sure how well they get the point across in the 98-375 but I definitely think they need to stress that even more in the MTA courses.
