Failed with a 406!! hehe

in Net Infra 70-291
I bought a book for 70-293 thinking the class that I was taking next semester was for that test, but my testing center called and said that the class covered the 70-291 exam. So I got the book refunded for the 293 and had nothing to study for the 291. I didn't even think of the notes here. So I took the exam for the $60 pricetag with the free re-take and got a 406! Woot! Looks like studying really does pay off. Well, it's a tough test and it had a lot to do with DNS. So really study up on it, also it had 3 sims...I'm scheduled for a retake next Friday so hopefully I'll have the info before I take the test this time. Heh.

    I feel your pain...I just failed today for the second time. I got 677 both times icon_sad.gif

    I got 3 questions on Demand Dial Routing and I couldn't remember anything about it. icon_redface.gif
    Not to mention all the cmds you need to know like route add, netdiag, mbsacli, nslookup, wmic, ipconfig /registerdns and flush, replmon, dnscmd, netcap, netsh, etc.

    I failed this test the 1st time and had a free retake. But, I was not emotional ready for it the 2nd time. Therefore, I lost my free retake. I will take this exam in the near future.

    Well, not to sound harsh. With a 406 I am assuming he got his name right.

    haha, yeah. I was 100% in the Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining IP Addressing both times...Must come from Cisco training. I'm taking the exam tomorrow after going through the Testout software and re-reading the MS Press book. I still don't feel confident enough to pass this time, but I'm going to retry it. Out of all the tests I've taken, this is the first one that I've failed on...including the CCNA test so I must be doing something wrong...I dunno. Anywho, I'll keep ya updated on how it progresses.

    Looking at your list of certs.....it appears as if you have fulfilled the requirements to be a MCSA.

    Congratulations!
