MCTS-MCPD-NO OF QUESTIONS, PASSING MARKS, DURATION

I got a lot of comments and mail for these kindda questions. So i planned to write this article about that.

Passing Marks
Microsoft has not clearly mentioned the passing marks and out of marks.
But you need to score 80% to clear the exams.
Experience tell that MCTS(both) and MCPD are out of 1000 marks. you need minimum 800 to clear the exam.

No of Questions

Minimum 40 (most of the cases)
Maximum 50

Duration
2.30 - 3 hours according to questions.

these are the no's according to the my experience at time of giving the exams. It could change later by Microsoft.

Don't hesitate to comment if any question/query is in your mind.
