Need some guidance on experience.

70-642 pass woot!
I passed the 70-642 on Friday and am glad to have it out of the way :D It wasn't nearly as hard as the 70-640, namely because the topics covered aren't as expansive nor in depth in addition to the fact that networking topics in general are vendor agnostic and covered in Help Desk positions on up. I used CBT Nuggets,…

70-680 done!
Knocked this bad boy out today on my first attempt, which I am pretty happy about. I scored 750, which is less than I would have desired, but a pass is a pass!
