Sadly, I write my Mobility+ exam June 14 and don't think 2 weeks will be enough time to be ready

Aced the Mobility+, thinking I might keep the brain going and take a run at this. Anyone else try it? I just checked, the codes are still valid, which is funny.. there are 150 spots, and the 350 free 70-698 spots went in half a day

I took it today. I didn't care for it. I felt the Labs were not very straight forward and not really fair. I took the Microsoft MOC training class and it is similar to that setup but with the MOC there is a bar at the top where you pick your VM. The exam did not have the bar but still required that you jump from LON-CL1 to LON-DC1. With the MOC training you would select the dropdown and choose your VM. No dropdown in the VM. The best I could come up with is I used RDP to get to LON-DC1.

I did fail but not by much - got a 606, needed 700. I didn't get a lot of time to study and was very distracted. I'm On-Call at my job and my phone went off three times. I didn't answer it but rushed to get done.

I bought one of the vouchers with the 4 retakes so I'll try it again in a few days.

Good luck!
