Microsoft Exam 70-486 Study Guide
Hello all. Recently, I wrote a study guide for the 70-480 exam (Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3). I wanted to follow that up with another study guide for 70-486: Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications. The material and sections contained in this post were retrieved from the Microsoft | Learning site: Exam 70-486 - Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications.
I apologize, but the skills measured sections for 70-486 contain some sections that are more conceptual than focused on a particular technology in the ASP.NET MVC stack, so this post is not as robust (in terms of external links) as the last post. For some sections, I broke down the conceptual sections into “talking points” that I could then link to research information for. I will list these parts throughout the blog and mark them with “Talking Points” sections. The idea is that you should be able to actually talk for a minute or so to each of these points to display that you are comfortable with conceptualizing and architecting solutions regarding the subject matter.
Exam Overview
So I will start off by saying that I found this test to be way more difficult than 70-480. I passed on the first try, but barely skated by with a 718 / 1000 (passing is 700 / 1000). I spoke to a colleague that works extensively with MVC and he too had difficulty with the test. Just be warned that this is something you will most definitely want to study for. Beyond this blog post, I strongly recommend the following resources (some cost money) for a more general overview of the concepts you will be tested on.
- ASP.NET MVC 4 Tutorials
- ASP.NET MVC 4
- ASP.NET MVC Advanced Topics (Plural Sight training)
- ASP.NET MVC 4 Fundamentals (Plural Sight training)
The Plural Sight training was helpful for the test, but would also be extremely helpful if you currently work with, or plan to work with MVC in the future. The benefits outweigh the cost. Worst case scenario, if you can get in on a free retake promo, you could take the test and if you fail, come back later and go through the Plural Sight training before you test again.
Training for the Test
Between the Plural Sight videos, the ASP.NET MVC 4 Tutorials, and the topics discussed below, I logged about 35 hours in overall study time. I will admit that I have never actually worked with MVC 4, but I did build several projects a while back in the initial version of MVC that was released way back when. I also keep up-to-date on the topic by reading wisdom provided by several awesome bloggers, such as Phil Haack, Scott Hanselman, Gu, and many others.
Testing Structure
Test consists of multiple choice A – D questions, multiple choice / multiple answer questions (checkboxes), and drag and drop answer sets. Furthermore, the test also contains case studies. Case studies consists of a fictional project concept that consists of business requirements, technical requirements, and code samples. The questions will be related to the case study (scenario) and range from questions about debugging the code samples, questions about adding new functionality that meet the technical requirements and business needs, to conceptualizing / architecting scalable solutions.
So you probably read through that last atrocity of a run-on sentence and said to yourself, “ummm… what?” Do not be too overly worried about these questions. You will see when you take the test that they’re not nearly as scary as they might sound. Despite the fact that the test is timed, my recommendation is that you still take the time to read through the entire background information for the case study before proceeding to the questions section. Some of the questions, you can get correct just by knowing what the technical requirements are for the case study. Those are freebies, so take the time to read the sections and the time spent will be well worth it.
Test Content
As mentioned before in this post, many of the questions are very straight forward and hit on a specific features within the MVC 4 stack, but others are definitely more conceptual and require you to use critical thinking skills. Therefore, it is very important that you not only understand the technical details of MVC 4 solutions prior to the test, but that you understand different applications (even infrastructure) architectures and what the benefits are of taking different approaches. I don’t intend to scare you too much though. Just spend the time studying, and you will be fine.
I would say that roughly 25-30% of the questions were more critical thinking questions than technology feature focused. I actually remember (to the T) several of the questions, but I can’t repeat them here (sorry but maintaining my integrity as I promised Microsoft I would not divulge specific test questions).
Design the Application Architecture
Design the User Experience
Develop the User Experience
Troubleshoot and Debug Web Applications
Design and Implement Security
