What study materials did you use? What were your impressions of the exam?

I haven't taken it yet but I have collected a decent list of available materials to study from. I've been checking for Pluralsight, CBTNuggets, and ITPro.tv for any mention of 70-743 and none of them have even spoken of it. ITPro.tv does have some on 740 and 741 which is something at least. I haven't checked out the two Advanced Deep Dives that are offered on the MVA site but will be doing so in the future. They look like a great resource.

I hope this helps

I am studying for it right now. I grabbed the book from Amazon and I am reading that right now.
I setup a test network with VMWare to go through the Nano Server and Core management via Power Shell.

I will let you know once I take the exam. I am hoping to take it in about two weeks.

There is a topic in the Windows 2012 forum on the 2016 exams that includes some comments about 743.

I'm planning to take it later this year and will probably just use materials from the regular 2016 exams as a guide.
