But after 8 months, the company I worked with thought I can be shifted to Java. And without giving certification I was shifted to Java. Now, this incident actually dampened my excitement and eagerness to give certification exam. In another incident when Java training was imparted to us, our trainer asked me to buy the voucher else I will not take my own idea of giving the certification exam seriously. And he was partly correct. I bought the voucher in December 2006 and its validity was till 30th November 2007… almost ONE YEAR! Such a huge period actually made me lazy. Now, I could have studied seriously and given the exam as early as possible from the day when I bought the voucher. After few more months, the company sponsored for the Microsoft certification of some of its employees, following is some information about them:-
| Name | Paper 1- 528 | Paper 2 - 536 | Paper 3 - 547 | |
| Amar Seth | 1000 / 1000 | 1000 / 1000 | 1000 / 1000 |
|
| Sunil Mahadeshwar | 965 / 1000 | 965 / 1000 | 1000 / 1000 |
|
| Sushama Patil | 982 / 1000 | 1000 / 1000 | 950 / 1000 |
|
| Krishnendra Singh | 947 / 1000 | 1000 / 1000 | 1000 / 1000 |
|
These are the 3 Microsoft’s paper which my friends they gave and this is their score. This was one more inspiration for me to give the exam ASAP. Now, my friends gave these exams with a preparation time of just a week or two. Can you imagine that? This leads us to some conclusion which I will discuss later.
From the day I decided I want to give the exam till the day I actually gave the exam, it was almost 2 years time that was spent… which is equal to my IT industry experience.
