70-270 Exam in 2 weeks in London

alistair7671

Any specific suggestions for a 50 year old MCSE+I NT4, CNE 3, CNE 4, CNE 5 who after a gap of about 6 years am now starting the MCSE 2003 route with 70-270...

I've come across terms 'simlet' and 'testlet' in describing this test but don't know what they mean!

General awareness of the current test structure would be helpful

Thanks for your comments...

One question at the moment:
Minimum setup requirements - there is a difference in that one reference states hard drive is 650Mb min but another states 1.5Gb; observations please

Thanks again

Don't believe the reference that says 650MB. The minimum disk space needed for XP Professional is 1.5GB, with 2GB recommended.

Hi

Thanks for the comment; I have it on good authority that Transcender are saying 650Mb - hence my uncertainty as I'd thought it was 1.5Gb...

I agree with the above statement. See:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/upgrading/sysreqs.mspx

However, you have to watch the wording carefully. See:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/c01621675.mspx

Windows XP Professional Hardware Requirements

2-gigabyte (GB) hard disk with 650 MB of free disk space (additional disk space required if installing over a network)

Nice and confusing, isn't it?
