Reqs for passing MCDST?

brad-

I was just curious...I plan on starting preparation for this early next year, and was wondering how many questions there were, and how many was passing.

Also if you have any recommended study materials please post.

Thanks Luc...I probably wont be taking that soon, but probably in Q1.

So from what ive been reading here, am I correct in assuming Measure Up + Trancenders = Pass?

no, I wouldn't assume that, at best, I would say
lim ( measure up + trancenders ) = pass
t -> infinity

in other words, the more time you put into studying with one or two good prep. products, the better chance you have at passing.

I would strongly recommend taking 271, but make sure you study 272 topics as well. ie. customization is a definite overlap topic.
