Hi im Chris from Middlesbrough in the UK. I was looking for last minute advice yesterday morning (30 minutes before setting off!) and found this site. I didn't have enough time to read through everything but I am quite glad I found it. Will be useful for other certs.
I booked the 270 test a week ago. I really under estimated this exam, at first I did a practice test and scored 500/1000 and it was alot harder than expected. Spent the last week studying very hard (luckily I was off work).
Anyway I passed 70-270, took 50 minutes and scored 921/1000.
I passed the 290 last year so only 2 more exams until MCSA
Got 291 to do and I did the course for 228 (SQL) in December so I think im going to choose that as the optional exam.

Do you have prior networking knowledge? Also, what materials did you use to study with?
Thanks, and good luck with your next exams. -

Hi,
I have been working with large networks for the past 4 years so have alot of background knowledge with XP and networks. I have also done the 290 exam so had some experience of Microsoft exams.
As for studying materials I used the official course book from Microsoft (bought on ebay) and took some free practice tests online. Questions I failed on I went back to the book and read up on the topic again and used my XP PC to make sure I knew exactly how to do it.
Its a difficult exam I would never have passed if I did no studying even with my experience. Good Luck
Make sure you know every topic inside out and you shouldn't have any problems.
Chris
