Navision programming exam

Charleh · 2005-02-17

I've not actually taken any Navision exams yet as I've only been working with it for a little while. I've been on the Solution Developers course and I'd just like to know what knowledge is neccessary to pass the Nav 3.7 programming exam?

Any idea of the types of questions I will be seeing? As far as I know it's multiple choice so it shouldn't be too difficult, and some people have told me its mostly common sense.

Anyone know what the pass mark is?

I think you need to get 80% and above to pass..

Here in the US, the pass mark for the programming exam is 70%. The one for The development exam is 80%.
