I'm feeling confident on this exam, more than any of the others. I also used a 2nd Shot exam pack,…

Passed the 70-647
Finally got the nerve to take it. Scored a 793. It was a hard test, almost 3 hours long. Best resource for the test--MS Press book. Do all the case scenarios and practices in the book. They included some technologies that weren't in the book but NDA prevents me from naming them.

70-682 Versus 70-680 & 70-685 that is the question

So is the only advantage to 70-682 that I can take one test versus two? If so it looks to me to be easier to study for 680 take…
