Passed 74-409! Now on to 70-411

I used the following materials to prepare for the exam:
MVA - Server Virtualization with System Center (Symon Perriman and Corey Hynes)
Youtube especially videos from John Savill
VEEAM exam guide for 74-409 by Orin Thomas
Various clips and modules related to the 70-412 and 70-414 exams by Greg Shields on Pluralsight
System Center Operations Manager 2012 course also on Pluralsight
Other Failover and High Availability courses on Pluralsight
My background:
No experience using SCVMM (or any other System Center components) in production
No experience with Hyper-V before studying for the 70-410 exam
4 weeks to prepare
I had troubles with SCOM even though I watched a course specifically on it. Be sure to have a lot of RAM on your test environment (2 Hyper-V hosts, VMM server, SCOM, DC, etc.)
