74-409 Exam Failed

[Deleted User]

Well, I took my 74-409 exam today. didn't do that bad in my opinion (but not good enough) I got a 518 and needed a 700 to pass.
This emoticon is exactly how I felt from going into the testing center before taking the test and then leaving. I really want to pass this exam. Being only 182 points away, I'm going to pass this exam! This seems to be the best book for this exam:Mastering Hyper-V 2012 R2 with System Center and Windows Azure: John Savill: 9781118828182: Amazon.com: Books could anyone agree or disagree or have any other books that they recommend? Thanks forum!

Well, you don't actually need a book to pass this exam given that you don't ****.

Go through the following stuff and you should be good to go.

[1] MVA: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center (This is a MUST!)
Server Virtualization with Hyper-V & System Center Training - Microsoft Virtual Academy

[2] To cover "everything"
Study Guide 74-409 | UseIT

[3] To summarize everything
Study Guide about Microsoft Certification Exam 74-409: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center

Good Luck!

I never cheated once on any of my certification exams! Those who ****, ultimately **** themselves. They **** themselves out of a great experience of gaining knowledge. Knowledge is the end all, be all!! (Sarcastic sinister laugh) Certifications are earned!! I did reference the MVA videos and I found them useful. A great way for studying for any certification exam is the following:

1. Find videos
2. A book
3. Practice lab environment

Make a plan and match the videos with the corresponding readings and a practice lab. From this, you will not only hear what the instructor is saying, you are also reading IT, and doing IT.

You'll get it next time! Did you watch ALL the MVA videos start to finish and take notes? I used the MVAs (while taking notes), the Hyper-V course on Pluralsight and Aidan Finn's Book

I took notes yes! I always do. I swear I feel like I should carry a scroll on my back with all the notes I take on a daily basis I took notes while watching the videos. Also, CarlSaiyed I was going to look into this particular book, however my debits and credits weren't working in my favor. I was going to purchase the 2008 version of this bookhttp://www.amazon.com/Windows-Server-2008-Hyper-V-Microsofts/dp/047062700X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1401292936&sr=8-3&keywords=windows+server+2008+hyper-v I think that this would ultimately work well (a used copy of course). Yes there is a difference between the two versions of the server operating system (2008 and 2012) Would you think that this should work?
