I have just recently begun to prepare for the SCEA. I have a couple of simple procedural questions, I'm sure someone here can answer,if they have a minute or two to respond.
1) How long do you have between the time you pass part I to arrange to take part II.
2) Once you begin part II, how long do you have to complete and turn in the assignment?
3) How long do you have between the time you pass part II to arrange to take part III.
Thanks very much,
Byron

I think the limit is 12 months or so, however you should strike whilst the iron is hot. As soon as you pass part 1, download part 2. Keep motivated and set aside time for completing part 2 (say 4-5 hours/week) as soon as you upload part 2 take part 3 (part 3 is unbelievably simple).
It's important to keep motivated and work against deadlines. If you say to yourself 'I have 12 months to submit part 2' you will never complete it.

Simon,
Thanks for the info/advice.
I plan on "busting through them" as quickly as possible, I just wanted to have the information to help me plan. If it all three parts needed to be complete in 3 weeks, I might have needed to re-arrange my schedule/commitments.
I don't anticipate it being overly difficult (...I've been doing this sort of thing in other technologies for 15 years and I've been working with Java for 4-5 years.), but I don't want underestimate it either.
Thanks again,
Byron
