If you do an internet search for 88-971 , it’ll tell you the answer is –883. Obviously. It’ll also give you a link to the actual exam page , which is useful too, once you’ve finished being distracted</description><dc:language>en</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.1 SP2 (Build: 61129.1)</generator><item><title>re: MCM Lab exam this week</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/rob_farley/archive/2012/12/18/mcm-lab-exam-this-week.aspx#46680</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:19:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:46680</guid><dc:creator>woodgreg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Good Luck! &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: MCM Lab exam this week</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/rob_farley/archive/2012/12/18/mcm-lab-exam-this-week.aspx#46683</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:06:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:46683</guid><dc:creator>Thomas LaRock</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Rob,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best of luck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is just an exam. It doesn't define you. Your clients won't know the difference between you having an MCM or not. It likely will not be the hardest thing you will ever do in this life. I find that being a father and husband has been the most challenging &amp;quot;lab exam&amp;quot; I have ever taken on in my life, but my life is full of a different set of experiences and priorities than others. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think you will do just fine, considering everything else I've known you to accomplish.&lt;/p&gt;

They don't come with manuals nor are you given any study guides for those.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish you all the best. Now, if only I can find a sponsor so I can take the lab exam :-)&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The MCM lab exam – two days later</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/rob_farley/archive/2012/12/18/mcm-lab-exam-this-week.aspx#46747</link><pubDate>Sat, 22 Dec 2012 20:59:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:46747</guid><dc:creator>Rob Farley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Readers of my blog , or followers on Twitter will know I took the MCM Lab exam a couple of days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
