Passed - Thanks to one and all

I passed the 70-290 today with a 940 - yay!
Thanks to all who have contributed to this forum, I found the information to be very useful.
I used a combination of a few things but found that the Testout CBT was great, nice sims if you don't have access to a Win2k3 server to help reinforce where and how to do things. CBT nuggets were OK but Testout was by far superior, just a bit light on with SUS (had an old version)
46 q's in total of that I think I had 3 sims, RRAS, DNS & Group Policy
Next to nothing on subnetting but a few routing style q's, IPSEC was pretty light on also
I thought the 70-290 exam was harder and the CCNA was even harder again, but at least the CCNA exams don't try and fool you with the questions like MS exams do, I found the CCNA exam to be more of a straight shooting sort of exam, and if you are interested the Sybex book by Todd Lamalle is the best by far, other than NAT it really covered the exam objectives.
Now it's off to do the 70-284 exam and then it's MCSA 2003 for me
