    Hey,

    unfortunately I didn't have time to take part in the first Quiz, but I took the second and the practice test and although there were a handful of very easy questions, the majority of the questions is pretty hard. A lot of the tools being asked about is only used in companies with large volume license contracts (at least in my country) and I don't think many students have hands on experience there. But the tougher the quiz, the greater the reward when you make it :-) Good luck to you all!

    congrats......

    i got 13 correct in 1st quiz and 16 in the second one.

     but i really dunno what to do for second round. i don't have much knowledge about these technologies at the deeper level because it is not a part of our curriculum at all. can you please guide me on how should i approach towards it? and how are you so good at all these technologies? you are CCNA as well as MCP. how are you able to pull up your regular studies with this extra stuff?

    rohitgoyal18 : It's simple and constructive to combine studies with Imagine Cup because they are somewhat complementary. There do not must have already a number of certifications to participate and get a good score in the Imagine Cup.

    It's all about how you manage time and how you manage to combine the knowledge acquired in school with the extra.

    A theoretical example: Day has 24 hours:

    •  - 8 hours to sleep
    •  - 8 hours for leisure, friends, sports, literature, TV, social life, love ... :)
    •  - 8 hours to learn:

    Overall, a student has a week on average 22 teaching hours. You need another 22 hours to deepen field studies, essays and other works.

    Difference: 12 hours for extra study.

    Now the question: Do you read 12 hours per week for the Imagine Cup, in the last 2 months? :)

    Certainly for me it was a little different when I participated first time in Imagine Cup: 6 hours to sleep, 2 hours for social life, 16 hours for the Imagine Cup and another 6 hours to understand English :)

    But this is not a successful model taking into account that I never get first place,  even if I won a lot in this competition. ;)

    Good luck and do not forget: Your success is up to you!

    Re: Quiz 2 results are out .. post ur experiences

     well, i am trying my level best to keep up with my learning. but the technology they are talking aout in this IT challenge are mostly found in a bigger  company environment. i am a second year computer science student. if i talk about the place where i am, hardly 1% of the people around me knows about these softwares/servers/applications. most of them say "what are hell are you talking about??". In this scenerio, its almost next to impossible for me to get a chance to have the practical knowledge of these technologies. personally i sleep for merely 3 hours a day except for sundays, but even then i hardly get to  learn anything about them. most of us students just cannot get a chance to have a practical knowldege of applications like sharepoint server.

    Hi,

    I remember facing the same problem when I was competing so here is what I did:

    • 1. If you have a strong computer at home or if your university allows you do install on their machines you can user virtualization as a way of getting that experience. I remember having about 7-8 VM installed at all time and trying out different configurations, simulating branch offices, installing SharePoint, exchange, ISA Server, SCCM, SCOM, SQL over and over again till I got the experience needed.
    • 2. Virtual labs are a great way to get familiar with the produces and they will guide you through installing and configuring SharePoint, Exchange , Server 2008 , etc. The virtual labs are free and you can access them from the Microsoft website at: http://www.microsoft.com/events/vlabs/default.mspx

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Cosmin
