I was planning to share my experience with my MCTS exam for quite sometime and wasn’t getting the time but today seems to be the day.

I scheduled my exam with US Education Foundation Islamabad at 3:15 pm on 31st August 2009, left office at 2:45 hired a cab and reached the center. Not to mention I was having a fast, pretty scared, confused and was praying to ALLAH to help me out. At first step I was deprived of my belongings like mobile, wallet, USB drive and were placed in a locker. Then had a short cross questioning session to prove my identity to the person responsible to start the test actually for me. I sat before the computer screen the test loaded and I saw many seen questions, that brought a big smile on my face and eventually I passed it.

I had my mind set to take the exam before 21st but unfortunately no dates are available in local centers before 1st October (Update: cleared it on 6th October 2009 with 100%).

Note: Candidates from Pakistan need to have a valid passport as their primary ID to appear in exams.

Pakistan is suffering from sugar crisis these days and prices have climbed up remarkably.  Prime minister has ordered not to use sugar in prime minister’s house as a sign to show his concerns  regarding this issue. Lets just join the voice and try to cut the use of sugar, cold drinks, juices, sweets etc eventually it will pull the prices down and will bring a sense to the people that they are the one who can solve any problem.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority tends to monitor data including land-lines, mobiles, emails and SMS.

It is currently a draft that can be found at PTA’s website at http://www.pta.gov.pk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1301&Itemid=225

Once implemented, this monitoring system will enable PTA to check and analyze voice and data traffic flowing in and out of a network, from inside and outside the country.

Definitely  against privacy of individuals and should be condemned at every level.

Hi All

By the grace of ALLAH I passed the subject exam with a score of 884, min required was 700. Next target is of taking ASP.NET 3.5 after Eid-Ul-Fitr insha ALLAH.

Just to tell u  ppl I can now use this

For ASP.NET 3.5 I am consulting the 70-562 training kit, Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 Step by Step, Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5. Yes I will also consult the unavoidable brain dumps or sample questions as much as I can after studying the books first.
