My Experiance to become Microsoft Certified Professional

Hello, guys
Now, i'm a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist for Web Development with .Net framework 4.0
(Exam No. MCTS: 70-515). 
         I had been working hard from 2 months to get certified by Microsoft. now i came to know that it's worth working hard for this certification.
        In this post, i'm providing some resources which i prepared from and my score sheet.

        first of all the exam would cost you around USD 80. I paid INR 4000. My primary advice for you is first buy the voucher then start your preparation so that you'll be more dedicated to that. This voucher will be valid for 1 year from the day of purchase and we can write the exam only once with one voucher.

Audience Profile for MCTS: 70-515
Candidates for this exam are professional Web developers who use Microsoft Visual Studio. Candidates should have a minimum of two to three years of experience developing Web-based applications by using Visual Studio and Microsoft ASP.NET. Candidates should be experienced users of Visual Studio 2008 and later releases and should have a fundamental knowledge of the .NET Framework 4 programming languages (C# or Microsoft Visual Basic). In addition, candidates should understand how to use the new features of Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4.
Candidates should also have a minimum of one year of experience with the following:

  • Debugging and deployment
  • Application and page life-cycle management
  • Security aspects such as authentication and authorization
  • Client-side scripting languages
  • Internet Information Server (IIS)
  • ASP.NET MVC



Here comes my Preparation for MCTS: 70-515 and Tips for you!


  • Whatever the exam you're writing, first of all get the full objectives of the Exam
  • The best resource for any Microsoft Exam is Its own toolkits from Microsoft press.
  • The next best resource we all know is MSDN, search for each of the objective of exam in MSDN and go through it. as you'll be completed preparing the toolkit, you can get more points from MSDN library.
  • here's another best resource i have got through google search, thanks to  NIALL MERRIGAN, who prepared this resource. 
  • The optional resource with which we will be confident over the exam objectives is 70-562 toolkit. ignore the topics related to mobile development because those are not relavant fro 70-515 exam.
    • here's the toolkit book for MCTS: 70-562 in pdf format.(which is for web development with .net framework 3.5)
  • Finally, one must do practice to get succeeded in any exam. so don't hesitate to write code and check each and every thing.
Good Luck guys!
Happy Coding :)
