Don't ask; pay rates this side are terrible, talk about being close to the edge. Anyway what were the major topics focused on, what were the simulations about? and all those other details you can remmember to tell us about.

I have been in the field for 4 years, on a win2k server network and a win03 server network both with AD, I have a lab setup at home for tinkering with GPO's and AD. This test for me was easier than most, the sims were very basic. I am reading the MS books in about 2-3 days (keep in mind my company is giving me all the time i need to study/read), then practicing what I learn from the book. I have been reading your posts, we seem to be on similar tracks. Next week I take 298 as this week I have Cisco tests, How about you?
I will be taking 298 instead of 297. I studied for both and found 298 much easier to pass. I have plenty of experience. I am doing 298-->284-->CCNA--->Sec+ I will complete 285 and 350 somewhere down the road for my MCSE+messaging, MCSE+security.
