I plan to take NS0-003 NetApp Certified Technology Associate test in November. Can you guys share your experience about the preparation and testing. Which topic I should focus more on? I know it may be not easy without a good preparation. thanks in advance ^_^

The NCTA is about understanding the NetApp portfolio, so understanding what everything (at least at a high level) is really the key.

there's a page inside NetApp learning center (gotta be a partner) that can help a lot.

Thanks, but it must be something they focus on cuz there too many topics and I have no idea what they focus on. I am not sure NS0-003 syllabus is similar to NS0-002.

That's the point of this test, high level understanding of NetApp tech/products (I helped with the 002 and 003 exams). Typically taken by partners and netapp staff, though customers do take it. And yes, it's the next version of the test, so it'll be similar.
I'll also note that when we write/update these tests we sometime will reuse questions from the previous iteration.
