I finally took the Microsoft Architecture exam (70-300) today and I’m happy to report that I passed. But did I pass with flying colors or did I just squeak by? I couldn’t tell you. I would sure like to know, though. Unfortunately the new certification exams no longer break down your score for you, they just report pass or fail. Pretty anti-climatic if you ask me. You click the ‘End Session’ button and wait a few seconds for your result: ‘Congratulations! You have passed this Microsoft Certified Professional exam.’ Being the perfectionist that I am (my wife would disagreee to that statement but I’m talking work here, not home life), I would like to know how well or how poorly I did in certain areas so I might be able to focus my efforts to solidify my weak spots. I should be happy enough in knowing that I passed the first test and move on.

So… on to the next one!
