self paced training kit from Matthew A.Stoecker. I wanted to know what is the

If you have the same MCAD/MCSD self-paced training kit as I have then
most of the answers to your questions are in the 'About This Book'
section in the beginning of each book.
The CD that comes with the kit contains some sample exam questions
which can give you a flavor of the real exam (multiple choice, case
studies, select and place etc).
Honestly, I don't know the weighting of the skills being tested. The
online preparation guide for 70-306
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-306.asp just lists the
skills that MS is testing against - this skillset is also listed in the
'About This Book' section of the books in the kit.

Are you suggesting that they don't provide weighing machine at the centre?
Does it mean that I'll have to carry my own to the exam.

On the internet where the de facto lingua franca is English and where
English is a lot of posters' second or third language - I think the
meaning of Shruthi's questions was clear.
Just as I think that Cerebrus meant to say 'I took the exams' when he
said 'I gave the exams' (where I come from, the examiner gives the exam
and the exam candidate takes or sits the exam. ;)
But English is used differently in differently parts of the world. For
example, US politicians 'run for office' while UK politicians 'stand
for office' which means exactly the same thing. So perhaps Cerebrus is
correct about giving an exam.

Only if you're hell bent on determining the "weightage"... ;-) |

Yes, I AM correct when I say "giving an exam".
And the meaning of Shruthi's question was very clear to me as well.
Probably more so, since she is also from India (as the name suggests to
me). It was a little joke, and I guess your Humour meter is broken. |

OK, I'll take you at your word that it was meant in good humor. But it
looked like SP was 'piling in' on your joke.
Remember there is a fine line between cruelty and humor.
Without a tone of voice, emoticons and/or body language to indicate
otherwise, it would seem that Shruthi's English was being mocked.

you're correct 
See? The emoticon at the end indicates I was making a funny ;)

Thank you for that quick crash course on netiquette. ;-)
BTW, it was not Shruthi's english, but the validity of the question
that was being mocked. There is no published list of comparative
weightage of exam topics, and someone does post it, then it amounts to
a blatant violation of the Exam NDA. |

You're welcome.
No wait.. you were being sarcastic, right?

I see it is not beyond your ability to be precise and clear.
Unfortunately, there are still a few mistakes that muddies it's
meaning.
Let's see if the sentence can be made even clearer.

After sleeping on it, I realise I'm starting to enjoy this exchange too
much and I don't like that part of me.
Besides, you seem to be one of the good guys. Therefore, I'll try to
keep on topic in the future.

I feel the same about you. No wonder I'm not enjoying this banter.
Anyway, have a good day. |
