About ASD - Accredited Symbian Developer Certification

Hi folks. Yesterday, I had a chance to undergo a crucial ASD (Accredited Symbian Developer ) certification exams. I was bed ridden for the past 20 days. So, my preparations were not up to the mark. I think I've not done it to my expectations. Let me tell you the pattern.
1. The duration of ASD exam is 120 minutes and 48 tough questions were thrown.
2. Mostly, they revolved around Client Server, Platform Security and Plugin architecture {The catch is this is not explicitly mentioned as a subject in the curricullum}.
3. 30% of the questions were programs and asking me to predict the output of the program.

It took a hell out of me!!!!!!! It was really tough. Mind you !
Folks, I suggest you better take up Symbian Essentials and Symbian Application Engine Development courses from Symbian and then attend it. Even though I've a bit of experiance in Symbain, it appeared to be a heck of a task for me. We normally, don't work in those areas like publish and subscribe services etc.

Read C++ Stroustrup twice before taking up the exam.
