PASSED - Almost brain damage

WOW...I passed with 857/900 and this was my first attempt and also my first Microsoft exam. I though my brain would fall appart...I concentrated so hard no to step on a mine 
The feeling was so great when I saw my pass score since I studied for a very long time. This test wasn't easy and I went through all the questions two times to be on the safe side. I got no SIMS but a lot of graphic questions.
I used the following to prepare:
* MindLeaders E-learning
* Sybex
* Microsoft Training kit (did not spend to much time with that book).
* Exam CRAM
* Exam CRAM study questions
* Preplogic MEGA guide
* Info I found in this superb forum
Also downloadedall free demo test I could find (Transcender, SelfTest, uCertify etc).
I found the test to be a lot like (not the questions ,the format) the MeasureUP prepquestions you got on the Microsoft Training kit (several hundred questions).
My advice is to take A+ and Network+ before any Microsoft exam - You need to know a lot about basic networking + hardware combined with the study guides/training kits for the Microsoft exam. Or else it will be pretty hard to pass...that is my opinion from todays scenario with my first Microsoft exam.
Next is 70-290 and then 70-291 to become MCSA.
Tonight it's "gamenight" with no reading...I deserve a break before 70-290.
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T PASSED YET

Good job!
Be careful, the 70-290 is much harder than the 70-270. Give yourself more time and definitely do some hands-on.
8 teams in the semi-finals where you are - who are you rooting for? HV71 versus Brynas seems to be the big match up from what I can tell.
Linköpings HC - Luleå HF
MODO Hockey - Timrå IK
HV 71 - Brynäs IF
Färjestads BK - Mora IK
Oh, and I have to know what does "Seen Out" in Swedish translate to in English? It shows up in places for the translation on the Hockey Sweden site and homestarrunner.com

THANKS ALL FOR THE CONGRATS
That "Seen Out" is something made up...not Swedish. They must refer to "sen ut", that is "late out" in Swedish.
Oh, I go for Brynäs IF ...the team in my area...but they suck from time to time so you never know -

Good job, congrats on the pass. The Microsoft exams can be a little daunting, especially if they're your first go at certs or you're coming off CompTIA. Don't worry, though, you'll get used to the format.
Lycka till på 70-290. Plugga hårt, plugga ofta. . . och sen plugga lite till.
