Hello Friends,

I recently passed my 70-683 exam (Windows 7: Preinstalling for OEMs). I found this exam easiest of all Microsoft exams. Microsoft has specified very few objectives for the 70-683 exam.

The exam is all about deploying Windows 7 for OEMs. An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by a company and retailed under that purchasing company’s brand name.

Microsoft’s 70-683 test validates your skills and knowledge to efficiently use the Microsoft OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) and imaging tools to deploy and maintain Windows 7 desktops and additional tools. There are no specific prerequisites for the test 70-683.

In the earlier days of this exam, there were no specific study metarial on the Internet. But today you can get loads of study metarials for preparing for this exam.

I prepared for the 70-683 exam with the help of practice tests and study metarials provided by uCertify. I must say it helped me a lot for the preparation. You can visit to have a fail deal for the test 70-683.

One of the best features of the uCertify practice test is its 100% money back guarantee. So you can get back your money in case you fail in the exam.

Passing the 70-683 exam gives you an MCTS certificate. Before taking the 70-683 exam you must know the basics of Windows 7 deployment including various tools such as DISM, Windows SIM, ImageX, Oscdimg, Windows PE, etc. The 70-683 exam mostly moves arround these tools.

Recently I was searching for some popular certifications that are having a high placement ratio, I came to know about the Adobe CS4 certifications in a blog called cisspfix. I found it very interesting that people are going for the Adobe certifications in spite of the recession period. I agree with the blogger’s thought that Adobe Certifications are unaffected by the recession. Let me tell you what I believe that recession periods are the prime periods for the certification exam because the competition gets tougher and tougher, and you have to prove that you are better than others. And that’s where a certification can help you. In the recession period you have proper time to prepare for certifications. You can take help from study materials available on various exam solution provider Web sites.

There are so many websites developing exam preparation solutions for certification exams. These websites endeavors to give the latest and most advanced preparation tools to those aspiring for the certification exams. They not only guarantee your success at getting certified, but also equip you to truly understand the subject. This preparation methodology will give you a competitive edge over others who may be paper certified but not qualified to use the skills on the job. The recession period provides you an opportunity to excel in the extremes. So Hit the iron when it is HOT.
