FireKnife Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Can't beat the MCDST. They give us 100 sample questions. The 40 that we are asked for the test are the first 40 in order from the samples. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 *NICE* If you'd known that before the exam, I'm sure you'd have paid a lot more attention to those samples... Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 paid a lot more attention to those samples.. I'm studying IT, not Biology. But meh, passed and am now qualified by Microsoft, which is like being given a degree by a dead badger. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Well done you. Although - and no offense here - but from what you've said, it sounds like it's worth even less than I thought it was... Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Oddly enough it is a weird one. Any sponge can pass with the sample questions but some jobs in IT are crying out for it, maybe as it is one of the few Technical qualifications going that is backed by a large Operating Systems provider. I don't get why so many people are up in arms about it, compared to a 2-3 year course in IT which seems to mean nothing. Ah well, i will forever be known as the IT bloke and i am happy with that.

mattmanic Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah, there can't be all that much to those Microsoft qualifications. My dad is a lecturer and when ever Microsoft release a new version of Server or something he goes away for a week long course and then teaches it the week after with the use of a 'For Dummies book... What exactly is involved in becoming Microsoft Certified? I can't think of much other than some command prompt stuff that any computer orientated person wouldn't know already.

FireKnife Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 You have to sit an exam based on using programs within XP and 7 Pro versions that allow you to modify and fix broken PC's. It is not too hard once you know it and some of the questions are simple, but there are some that are taxing and can be a bit misleading too, so they can catch you out.

Squeak Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sodding *fruitcage* paper and cardboard cuts. Nothing in life has caused me more consistant physical damage than paper and cardboard. Knives, hand tools, power tools, fire etc have nothing on the *bramston pickle* stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

greg Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Topical rant of the day: Folk who you have never met before, who choose to meet you for business, at a specific time. 15 minutes after that time has passed, you get a text saying sorry will be 1.5 hrs late. 1.25 hours later you get a call saying sorry, I'll probably be another 30-40 mins, can we make it Tuesday? Can we *fruitcage*! C U Next Tuesday alright. & then, 45mins later, still don't turn up! What do they say about first impressions? EDIT: I take it all back, turned out to be a real nice chap. Ain't his fault he has no concept of good time keeping. Greg. Link to post Share on other sites

Triggerhappychappy Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hair grips ( my sisters, whom was living with me for about a year, up until just after xmas ), that take 2 months to work their way through the waste pipe inside my washing machine, then into the waste pump chamber where they become lodged in the impeller blades/ housing. On the upside, I now know how to fix a washing machine & saved myself a good £20-60 that a repair man would have charged me. Link to post Share on other sites
Desolation mkII Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Women. Not women themselves, I have no problem with women. But the effect they have on my friends. I grew up with girls and my close friends have usually been girls. Not that I am exactly effeminate, but that's just the company I kept. Now that seems to have given me an uncannily good understanding of women, and how their minds work, I mean generally quite good. If I have met a girl a few times I can usually get a fairly good idea of what makes her tick. Now the problem is, this has lead to me twigging very quickly how my mates girlfriends actually feel and what their real motivations are. Now the problem is my mates are the exact opposite of me, they have grown up in vary male orientated social groups and are, frankly, utterly naive. Now the problem is that this has led to me predicting with fair accuracy what said girlfriends actually feel and to a lesser extent what they will do. A great gift for a friend to have some might think. Wrong. Now it seems some of my friends think that I am talking and/or conspiring with their girlfriends behind their backs and that is how I know all this. I honestly have better things to do with my life then undermine their relationships. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Can't help some people. Getting involved in other people's relationships never seems to be a good idea. Unless they actually ask for advice, it's not normally welcome, and even if they do ask they aren't always happy to be told what you actually think, if it's not what they want to hear.

greg Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 uncannily good understanding of women, and how their minds work, There's your problem. TBH, who cares. Women are possibly the most *fruitcage*ed up, selfish wankers on the planet. Their one & only saving grace is they normally hold the ace card: Boobs. The best thing in the world. So there we have the best thing/worst thing, woman paradox. Deep down inside, the only reason we put up with them. Boobs. Forget about figuring them out, it's rubbish. Boobs mate, that's all that you need to know about women. Greg. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 You sound like you've got a lot of deep-seated emotional problems, mate. Didn't your mother give you enough hugs when you were growing up? (Note: This post not to be taken seriously) Link to post Share on other sites
