Passed 290 with 805!!

After a month of studying, I decided to go for 290. I was quite nervous before the exam, but soon found my feet when answering the questions. The exam was made up of 4 sims, a few 'drag and drops' and various multiple answer questions. The exam didn't seem to focus on one area but some of the questions I had to read 4-5 times in order to understand exactly what they were looking for.

Resources used:-

MS Press 70-290 Book
Testout Videos
CBT Nuggets
Trancenders Practice Tests
and of course... Techexams.net !

I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for your support and especially to Johan for providing awesome technotes and a really useful site!

Now I'm moving onto 291 - THE BEAST!!! - Any tips?

To everyone who is going to take this exam in the future, good luck and study hard!

Same advice I give to everyone else, about everything else: booze. . . lots and lots of booze. . . and I suppose some of that "studying" stuff might help, too.

We have a 2000 domain enviroment at work which I have been working with for around a year.

I also setup a home lab with a 2k3 domain server and xp client machine with Vmware.
