Just passed this one, scored 768. 70-744: Securing Windows Server 2016. That should qualify me for the MCSE: Core Infrastructure since I already have my MCSA for Windows Server 2016.
I started my Microsoft certification back in January 2019 with the 70-740 and just wrapped things up today. Materials are my home virtual lab(Hyper-V virtual machines running on a gaming rig), the 70-744 exam ref, and the MeasureUp practice exam. No videos, and nobody else's (CBT or otherwise) labs.
MeasureUp is leaps and bounds better than KaplanIT, and reflects the official exam experience more accurately.
I plan to relax until middle of June before taking a look at the CCNA.
