I started out in April 2006 to clear the exam. I haven't done any real timeproject in web service.I was not fully committed to the study of webservice for the whole year, as i had official duties to carry out.
I have 3 years of experience in Java/related technologies.
I might have reviewed Basic Profile 4 or 5 times .I felt it was necessary doing that.
I just reread once or twice the portions I didn't understand well .It made me feel better.The questions from MZ was really handy in understanding the concepts and for the final go.
The materials used were Blueprints/Basic Profile/RMH and MZ study guide.
