Assessing Readiness for Exam 70-306

In addition to the general exam-readiness information in the previous section, there are several things you can do to prepare for the "Developing and Implementing Windows-Based Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET"exam. We suggest that you join an active Microsoft Developers mailing list, obtain a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscription, and regularly visit the MSDN Web site for new information (http://msdn.microsoft.com).

Microsoft exam mavens also recommend checking the Microsoft Knowledge Base (integrated into the MSDN CD-ROM, or on the Microsoft Web site at http://support.microsoft.com/support/) for "meaningful technical support issues" that relate to your exam's topics. Although we're not sure exactly what the quoted phrase means, we have noticed some overlap between technical support questions on particular products and troubleshooting questions on the exams for those products.
