Failed 70-299 w/ 578

daveogolf

Failed the exam but oddly I don't feel that annoyed by it. I used the Sybex book to study and I would say a good 30% of what was on the test I hadn't seen before.
I'm thinking of either picking up the Microsoft book and studying from that or buying a test.

Any recommendations on how I should proceed?
This is my last exam for my MCSE.

One of those online practice exams is what I meant. I don't really know who is puts out good ones. I've always just used a book for studying previously.

Usually the MS Press book is a good companion to any other book (Sybex, Exam Cram, etc.). As far as tests, Transcender is the only one that comes to mind, but they are expensive.

You've passed several exams already, so whatever you are already doing looks effective. This topic might just need a little more study is all. Good luck!

It was weird failing this exam. I've passed all the others without any problem. Failing the last one before I have my MCSE just feels weird. I ordered the Microsoft book, and I'll see how I feel after going through that book.
The exam and a few questions about groups and scripts that I had not seen anywhere else. Definetly felt like the Sybex book was missing some info.

I used the MSPress exclusively for the 70-299 exam and felt I was very well prepared when I went into the exam. I would pick up a copy and check it out. Just as Mark stated, Transcenders is the only one that comes to mind as well, although it is expensive. I feel that as long as you get the MSPress book, you will conquer the 70-299 on your next and final attempt. Good luck!

I've used Measure Up Practice Exams for all of my exam and I find them really helpful. They offer a lot of different questions with explanations and links to TEchnet for further infomation regarding the subject.
