I bought a booster pack at the end of August of last year and put this off to the very last week. I failed the exam back in December of 2014 and took a big break. I decided the booster pack was worth it and bought it with the intent of using it not long after. Well I put it off at first then, had some medical issues with new baby number 4 and one of my other son's and basically was about to just give up on taking this at all.

I decided that I would at least give it a shot since it wouldn't cost me any money at this point. I scheduled my first exam on Feb 24th. I did some very light studying and took the exam and scored a 420. Well I did better than I thought I would have but it still pissed me off. I focused on my week areas and watched all the itpro.tv videos and took the exam earlier today and passed with a 717. I was praying to the man up stairs on this one.

I got into the test and got through the first 20 questions within 30 minutes and started to feel like I was actually going to pass at that point. I was still very surprised to see the Congrats you passed at the end. I got quite a few questions on NPS/NAP which is what I really didn't study. Got a bit on GPO's and AD. Know what commands are used to do various things in AD and used for GPO's.

I would say that the itpro.tv monthly subscription was worth it as they hit on many points cbtnuggets didn't. I also like their format of videos better than cbtnuggets and actually found myself laughing at their jokes. The key thing with the videos is to pay attention to even the minor details in them as they helped a bit.

Now to decide whether to go after the MCSE or upgrade to MCSA 2016.
