Look at the report you should've received after your first attempt. It will tell you your weak areas. For instance, my weak areas were deploying core network services and Group Policy.

What was your score for the first attempt? What resources are you using to study?

my score was 448.

my weak areas on the exam are Configure file and share access, Deploy and configure DNS service, Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addressing

I have MeasureUP, Exam Ref (Zacker) and the Sybex all in 1 but haven't touched it much

All of those things are things that can be setup in a lab without much trouble. I recommend setting them up in lab and then working hard at making everything work then rinse and repeat. Focus on reading technets around the areas you were weak. They have a lot of information that just needs to be picked through to understand. I would suggest also reading the chapter or two in your books that pertain to your weak areas. Try to follow long with what they are doing in the books with your lab.

You know what i feel the same way . i have about 2 weeks before I have to my retake too. Very nervous about taking it again. This will be my fourth try with this stupid test. The problem is that my score are all over the place. I'm trying to read a new book i got before the exam. Seeing if that helps me understand things more. But keep reading that's all i could say.
