Failed 70-685 for the second time.

​Scored 520 both times.

I can't quite figure out what's going wrong to be honest. I feel like I understand the concepts as well as any other exam I've done previously. I've labbed more on this than any other.

There are definitely a few questions with extremely questionable wording, that lack the specificity to give a definitive answer. A couple made me extremely angry, actually. There were a few in there that aren't covered in the MS press book too.

I did feel on quite a few that maybe i didn't understand 100%, so they were half guesses, so there's still work to be done but I really felt like my score would at least improve. That's what's gotten me down the most. The first exam I got over 70% in every area, but bombed in one and it dragged my whole score down. The second time it was my strongest area and I messed up a couple of others.

Any advice from people who've specifically done this exam, or other notorious MS exams like server 2003 would be highly appreciated.

Have you been taking practice exams and scoring well on them? like from Transcender or Boson

Transcender. 100% all the time. So yeah. I've also memorised the flash cards.

Wow, sorry to hear this; I understand the frustration with the MS exams. Only thing I can offer is to just grind away and keep at it. Good luck!
