The stress is over...I Passed.

Wow. I can actually live and breathe again. At least until Monday, when I start studying for the 70-290. I used MS Press for the last month and a half and in the last two weeks, I viewed some TestOut and Transcender. I was so stressed because the Transcender was a bit difficult and I thought I would really struggle with the real exam. The actual test was a little easier than practice questions.

I made a mistake that I'll never make again, and the bad thing is I knew better. I stayed up late taking practice exam after practice exam, and started getting really sleepy during the actual test. I read the same questions over and over, just trying to grasp what they were saying.

The few seconds that it takes to announce your pass/fail status seemed like an eternity.

In the future, I will be much better prepared. Oh yeah, I scored 842.

Thanks to all of you at TechExams.net.

WELL DONE BUDDY

Thanks guys. I experienced something while studying for the 70-270 that really started making me anxious. I also have the MCSA/MCSE MSPress series, and the urge to start studying 70-290 while studying 70-270 was very strong. I felt like a sponge trying to soak everything up. On the surface, this may sound like a good thing, but I really started getting anxious to the point of distraction. I just hope it doesn't happen while studying 70-290.

Congratulations on the pass, and good luck on the 70-290.

I can totally relate to this. It seems that as soon as I decide to begin studying in earnest for an exam, I immediately develop an interest in other areas of IT. I end up researching and toying around with other stuff to the point of neglecting what I had decided to study. Very very frustrating. Maybe a psychologist has a name for this behavior.

First off congratulations!!!

Must be called working in IT because i do exactly the same.

I mean why am I sat here writing assembly code when I should be studying for the 270? lol

Surely it must be a healthy thing?

I hope so. I just started studying for the 290, and I found myself picking up a book on scripting, and very tempted to pick up a Command Line Admin's Pocket Guide, CCNA and Server+ Training Kit. Ugh...I need help.

And thanks to all for the Congrats.
