Hi All,
After giving an exam for SQL Server just heard that the total time that is allotted for the exam would be monitored.
If a candidate takes less time would it mean that he would not get the certification since he may have prepared only probable questions and not entire syllabus
Thanks

Garbage.
I've written exams in under half an hour before (did 2 in one day before in less than an hour). No problems.

Why did you remove the question? Just means that others with the same issue can't be helped.

That's kinda silly. Should have left the original question.

Same answer as before. I know many people prepare similar to myself or even less (Gail probably prepares less 😉 ) and we still finish in under 30 minutes because we know the material. A fast finish time is not indicative (by itself) of having only prepared for a certain question set.
That said, one only need worry if they prepared for the exam using braindumps. But that is a difficult thing to prove Unless the offender wasn't subtle about having cheated. e.g. the offender posted to forums stating that s/he used dump x, y or z.

True.....But the exam overall is easy when you know the stuff and the questions in the paper are easy. 🙂
Thanks for your inputs guys
