70-291 and 70-293 exams

n0fx

I read in a previous posted topic that the 70-293 was similiar to the 70-291 except that it included a few more topics. I couldn't locate that specific topic and I already bought the Microsoft Press for the 70-291. I was wondering what specific topics were added to the 70-293 exam that I should focus on and if you guys know any places or books that might have this information, it would be great!

I already purchased the Microsoft Press for the 70-291 and I don't really want to purchase the Microsoft Press for the 70-293, if the information will be redundant except for a few topics.

Thanks.

The topics are, indeed, pretty similar. However, not similar enough to allow you to squeak by the 70-293 with the study book for 70-291. One test is for implemantation, while the other is for planning and deployment. The following sites break down the topics in each test.

For 70-291:

That's too bad, I thought I could save some money and just get supplement material for the 293. I guess I'll have to get the book for the 293 as well.

Thanks.
