5th exam in my journey towards my MCSE and that was the hardest so far. Questions came from all over and the exam software's "weirdness" setting must have been maxed up.
PKI, Clustering, DNS, GPO's all hammered. Questions were very wordy and had to be read a couple of times before the penny dropped.
Hard but not too bad

Fourth test of my MCSE journey. In a way, harder than 70-291 because it covers stuff you probably don't mess with on a day to day basis in most places like you do with the 70-291 material but on the other hand easier because they don't go as in depth. Passed on the first try. Got around 830 or so in under twenty minutes of actual testing time. Next up is AD.
Passed the first try as usual

Question 43
Time 3 hr
This exam is real heavy on PKI, certificate, AD restoration, how to revoke certificate, publish CRLs, and good amount of stuff from 70-291. Passed it with 880, getting ready for the next one.
Passed with an 863

I had 3 simulations, nothing out of the ordinary. The test is similar to the 70-291 except it has clustering, NLB, and a greataer focus on PKI with certificates. I recommend taking this test after 70-291 since the material is similar. Still know all the material from 291 well however.
Not too bad

I read the book and ran through measure a few hundred times.
harder than expected.

with just this and 297 to go i thought this would be pretty much a recap on everything else, and it was to be fair. They hammer certificates, ipsec, vpn and general remote access. 3 sims 4 drag and drops. It can be studied for over a weekend, as i did, but my god you will need to work hard in the exam. One to go.
Success!!!!

Where is my blogg? I guess I gave too much info on the test, my mistake. I will be more careful, anywayz....Study hard for this one, it pays to overstudy. This sitting was not as hard as 70-294. I used this test as the last one to close out my MCSE 2003. Ii am off to 70-299 now, I want the MCSE+Security. Good luck fellow MCP's
CAN U SAY MR. MCSE YEAH BABY!!

This test was not average, and I would sound arrogant if I did not say that this was not hard. It was a little easier than I expected though. I think I overstudied due to the fact that 70-294 was no joke. I had about five sims which was suprising. About 5 "drag and drops", 4 or more "choose two", no choose "three answers". Of course the test is always different so you will never know what you will get. Now I can piggy back our counterpart and say that I too, can prepare presents at Christmas for my family;) good luck Crammers. We do need to stick together and continue to use this blog site.
