System architect preparation experience
It has been almost half a year since the end of the architecture exam in November 2017. Since the results came out, I plan to share my test preparation experience, but I often can’t arrange my time for IT freely. It’s not just that I have just finished leaving my job and finally I have time to prepare for the exam. record it. First, let me tell you about the purpose of my examination of this certificate. Everyone's purpose is different. I am currently working in Shanghai and want to buy a house in Shanghai, but I am suffering from insufficient years of social security and I do not have a permanent residence, so I have been in a state of no permanent residence. However, I have studied Shanghai’s policies and found that I can apply for a Shanghai residence with such a high-level certificate. Of course this It's just one of the conditions. In my opinion, it is also the most difficult condition. There are other conditions. If you want to settle in Shanghai, you can go to the 21st Century Talent Online Research. Here is the structure.
According to my understanding, having this senior certificate can be regarded as a senior professional title, but you must have an intermediate certificate before having this certificate, so I started preparing from the intermediate level, and successfully passed the software designer exam in the first half of 2016. I finished the designer test immediately. I started to prepare for the architecture. To be honest, I basically don’t understand the architecture. Therefore, I read the "System Architect Exam Guide". To be honest, I still don’t understand anything after reading it. There is no way, I just go to the real question, and the real question is done. Once again, I found that I was finished, I must have failed the exam. Later, I remembered the omnipotent Taobao. I bought a set of 380 video tutorials on Taobao. At first I thought I found a great god to help me. The seller said very well, saying that the paper would help you write 1500 words, the next 500 words can be stuffed in by yourself. He also said that he ran most of the marathon for you. The sprint was completed by himself. At that time, I believed it was true, and I added a structure group. It's a bunch of silly forks like me. One month before the exam, the group leader said that you should not prepare your papers first. Then they will press the questions and give you templates, etc. Remember that the group leader will start in the group three days before the test. Shame on the street: come out soon, I'm about to hack someone, damn, my account has been hacked, I will give you a few directions, then you can write in this direction. It is conceivable that the final result is dead. So don't think that there are any shortcuts to take, step by step down-to-earth, hope is still great. To be honest, I was very serious about preparing for the exam for the first time, but I was misled by that video.
Time flies and it’s the second half of 2017. Due to my busy work schedule, I arranged for three months to prepare for the exam. In view of my previous failure experience, this time I put aside the video and focus on the real questions. I remember to do it back and forth seven times. Real question, here is a reminder that you must use a pencil to do the real question, because you can wipe it after you finish it (I asked my ex-girlfriend to wipe it for me). Don’t be naive to say that you should remember the answer after you finish it, and it’s meaningless to do it again. Yes, if you say so, I will hehe, if it is so awesome, you can pass the real problem once. The following will explain from three aspects:
First, the basic knowledge, if you have time to go through the book, just use the one mentioned on the official website. You don’t need to master all of them, and it’s impossible to master them all, just know a general idea. , This book can be used as a dictionary. Then there is the real question (also the official book). The real question must be done carefully with a pencil, and must be done with a pencil . The following explanation can be drawn with an oil pen. I did it in 2009-14. The real questions were downloaded from the Internet for 15 years. First, I did all these real questions and read the explanations. Then my ex-girlfriend wiped it out for me and started the second time. The second time I did it very carefully. If there are many concepts I don’t understand, I searched it on the Internet and felt familiar (for example, if I did the questions in 2009, I felt that I had taken the test in 11 years. You need to turn to the real questions in 11 years to confirm whether similar questions have been tested). After the question is drawn, draw a five-pointed star with an oil pen. After finishing the answer, mark the wrong one with a triangle. At the end of the round, let the ex-girlfriend wipe it. After the first two rounds, you will find out which questions are easy to make mistakes and which are easy to test. The next third round, this round mainly focuses on error-prone questions and easy-to-test questions. Of course, other questions have to be done, but the time can be allocated a little less. After finishing it, continue to correct the answers and watch the analysis. At this time, you will find some questions are very strange , It’s easy to be confounded, and many concepts are easy to confuse, such as: physical network and Luo Ji network, SSAM and AT what M. In this case, you can use a small book to write down these error-prone points and write down why ? Scan it before going to bed, The effect is very good. When you reach the fourth round and fifth round, you will find that you are slowly becoming awesome. You will focus on the knowledge points, especially the ones that marked the three-pointed star and the five-pointed star. question. Of course, if you do too much, you will remember some of the answers, but don’t think it’s useless. It’s easy to be forced during the real exam. I have encountered it. Many questions have been fixed by myself, but they are still blinded by the time. A handful. My final grade seems to be 55.
Secondly, case analysis, some people think this is the hardest part. In my opinion, this is also the most troublesome place for me, but you still basically have no problem according to the real question. Questions about quality attributes must be known . This is also the simplest. No need to memorize, just understand it. The real question seems to have been tested. It's been three or four years, and it's basically a recurrence of the original question. The preparation of the case questions is basically the same as the basics. After doing it n times, I also wrote down some concepts of the general exam and memorized it before going to bed. For example: sensitive points and trade-off points (tested in 17 years), architectural style, etc. I don't know anything about embedded, I know it is a board with a green hat, and I don't know anything else, so I didn't prepare for embedded questions. After I finished the exam, I flipped through my little book and found that it seemed that the real questions from 2009 to 2014 were basically recorded in the book. That is to say, even if I didn't understand these questions, I knew them by heart. In the end, the test score was a bit regretful. It was 46 points, one more point. Those who rushed for 45 points got one more point in the test, which was boring.
Finally, there are papers that many people think are impossible to start. In fact , you have to find a routine of your own for the paper, and then you can play it by yourself no matter what questions you encounter during the exam . Before the exam, I wrote about 10 articles by myself. The routines are the same. Of course, the questions are from real questions. All the real papers are analyzed. The analysis above will let you start writing from a few points. You can use these points for your own project and expand on the project. Now it is very simple to think about it. I remember my routine at the time was this:
Summary: In a certain year, a certain company developed a certain system, and I was fortunate to participate, and I was mainly responsible for it. . . , Used in the project *The technology was finally put into use in a certain month and year, with good feedback and favorable comments from leading users, but some. . . Insufficiency, what to improve and so on. With such an organization, there are more than 300 words, anyway the abstract is roughly written like this.
Body: First write the project background, that is, some kind words, in a certain year and month, under what background, what projects have been developed, what technologies have been used, what responsibilities I have taken, what have been done, the composition of the team, Each person's division of labor, what kind of development model to adopt. Then obtain from the requirements, analyze the requirements, and write down the process to achieve this. In the end, there are polite words, praise, recognition, how many users have reached, and some areas need to be improved.
The actual score of the thesis is 48 points, just passed, I am very grateful!
At the end, on the last day before the exam, I just flipped through the books. I couldn't get in at all. I just looked at the real paper and his analysis. I remember to see the first question of the 2009 real question: On Information System Modeling Methods. Unexpectedly, I would take the test the next day. I followed his analysis and unfolded one by one. What is facing, process, and data.
During the entire examination process, I basically completed each subject half an hour in advance. To be honest, I usually prepare well. Although the score has just hit the line, I am still very satisfied.
I wish you all a smooth passing of the exam! You can leave a message if you have any questions! thank you all.
