Hi Rox. Great advice.

>Come exam day, the questions where exactly what the exam outline listed. And I mean exactly! In fact they even came in the exact same order... it was eerie.

I was thinking of taking the format of the MS outline and linking to examples of what they talk about. Not expanding the material except for maybe a paragraph here or there.

>And one more thing worth considering - look at all of the core language exam outlines. *All* the MCSD exams have a base design & analysis topic that is the same on each exam. ...So what I'm planning on doing is looking at the design/analysis part of the published VB study guides...

That is exactly what I am doing too. I will write the VB desktop in 2 weeks. It is frightening how much is applicable to VFP.

>On another note I'm scheduled to do the 70-055 (FP98) exam this coming Friday. And I'm applying this "stick strictly to the exam outline as a study guide" theory... I let you know how it works. Plus too the same core design/analysis topic is apart of this exam also, so I'm anxious to see how similar it is to what I seen on the 71-100.

Please do.

Thanks for the excellent feedback. I still plan to create the guide, if nothing but to focus my studies.
