Failed today - Wow that was long

chicken13

Took the exam today - but it was nothing like I expected. It's 4 hours long! Where are they going with that?
And the simulations - grief - I've never sat one with so many.
I lost interest in the exam 2 hours in.
There appeared to be a load on Scheduling/Users/Setting rights/Terminal Server.
Anyone get anything different?

I don't remember how long it was, but I found it one of the easier exams. Then again, I studied longer for that one than the others.

I had simulations on active directory stuff and share/ntfs permissions. Do you work with this stuff? It definitely helps if you see this stuff every day.

I work with XP, but have built a server at home to work on - have to do this beast so that I can teach it later on!

Holy Crap! To be able to complete the exam in under an hour is awesome! What did you use to study for the exam?

I finish the exam in 2,5 hour's , don't hurry up , u have plenty of time , and when you finish isen't really important , but keep it in 3,5 hour's !

This a quote from a thread entitled, "Exam time is 4hours. How long did you take?"

I thought it took you 2.5 hours for the 70-290??

This is way too funny...

Are you ever right. It's long. It's boring.
It's helps to stretch every 10 questions to clear your mind and refocus.
Should take between 2-2.5 hours to complete. I passed last month w/ an 850 and it took 2.5. Takes a LOT of study and practice. Good luck.

It took me 1 hour and 20 min's. I honestly think I rushed parts of it and when I got done and looked at the clock I had A LOT of time left. On my next MS test I'm going to try and slow it down a bit. I was going to sit the 270 but I decided to save it for last and do the 291 next.

But anyway, I should be sitting for the 70-290 exam sometime next week hopefully. I've been busy work and a new wife. I don't use Server 2003 at all at work except if I'm checking out an account or something in AD, but other than that, we have a LAN Team. Oh well...my reading and MOC/online courses/practice exams should get me over the hump in at least 2/3 of the time allotted.

Rather than 2/3 of the time...it actually took me half the time .

this was the only MS exam I was able to cruise through. I have alot of AD and NTFS/Share security experience. It helped for the sims on this test.
I got an 865 in about 2 hours. 291 on the other hand... is a real slap in the face. 270 i also passed on the first try but it wasn't easy.
