Q: MOUS Access certification?

M

MarkD

I've been working with Access for a few years and feel
pretty comfortable I could pass a MOUS test. However, I
don't know what sort of questions are asked and what
sections of Access they would cover. Having a MOUS cert on
my resume certainly couldn't hurt.

Can anyone recommend a website that has some sample
questions (or even a sample test) so I can see whether I'm
okay just taking a test or if I should brush up on some of
the concepts?

Thanks,
-Mark

http://www.measureup.com - has practice tests that you can try for free to see what their real practice tests are like. They simulate the actual test conditions.

The MOS tests are more tricky than difficult. The Access test in particular is more difficult for a real programmer because it tests knowledge of wizards and macros to do things that a real programmer would never use the wizards for. If you don't do something the way the test wants you to do it, the answer is wrong. For example if it tells you to resize controls to accomodate the formatting changes, you can't just drag the borders of the controls and resize them. You MUST use the size to fit menu option or the answer, even though the controls are all adequately resized, is wrong!

Belated thanks for the reply. Actually the test sounds a
bit useless to me then, but might as well get it,
especially if my company will foot the bill.

thanks again,
