The MTA 98-365 (Microsoft Technology Associate 98-365) is a industrial certification exam by Microsoft. This certification is testing about server administration on Windows OS server and the candidate are tested by theory. To pass this exam, you will need to study for the topics that will be tested. At the beginning, I am totally unsure of how to study for a industrial certification exam, the exam is different from regular school exam becuase it is not testing your knowledge you had learnt in school, the tested topic is focus on specific deep topic in IT industry that are not taught in my school.
I later discovered that the most suitable study method is reading a MTA 98-365 book to learn the topics. I go online and purchased the Microsoft Windows Server Administration Essentials book from the online bookstore to prepare for the exam. The book contains colored pictures, it explains every topic clearly chapter by chapter which helps me absorb very quickly and keeping me well focused. It is also a good source of information for learning, which is why I love this MTA 98-365 book very much.
I bought the book here:
- Memories Bookstore
- https://www.memoriesbs.com/product/microsoft-windows-server-administration-essentials/
After reading, I took a free online practice test to make myself better prepared. If you can score well in the practice exam, you will definitely pass the exam, as long as you understand the topic. If you failed the mock test, you should restudy the book, then retry the mock test later. Even if you had passed the practice test, I will still recommend you to restudy the book to be ready for the real exam.
To pass the exam, the minimun score required is at least 70%. I suggest you to try to aim for at least 80% in practice test.
Not long later, it is the examination day, I went to the examination centre to attend the test, and immediately know my result after the exam is over. I managed to pass the exam, and obtained the digital certificate on the same day. Although I had passed but i still find some mistakes I had made in the test and there is room for improvement.
