I
have started enjoying learning and testing. I am already in job and working on Oracle database. Have very little time for myself. I can spare two hours daily for preparation. I recently passed 1Z0-147 exam for DBA. Now going for other exams. It hard to fetch time only on weekend I go through books. How about transcender? Ofcourse, I never used it, instead i used ucertify and got 70% discount. Questions were good enough and i passed but couldn't score much. Is certification exams' score is considered? Or Industry give emphasize on your skills and experience, and didn't care for score?

Congratulation!
The main thing is that you cleared the exam and now you are Microsoft certified, no matter what is the score. Only a certification will not give you a job, you could be disappointed if you thinking that. A high exam score is worthless without having a real experience. The combination of experience and certification, could help your to get a better job. Certification will help when you are negotiating for a higher salary, lobbying for a promotion, or increasing your overall job security.
