I just passed the 290 last week, I am thinking the 270 will be next.

For those of you who took 290 then 270, what was your experience with 270?

I'm assuming a lot of the material overlaps.

Also once again to those of you who took 290 then the 270 which study materials did you use?

Thank you

    There is some overlap between 270 and 290, in my opinion 270 is easier than 290 so you should be able to pass it without much difficulty. I use the Microsoft Press book for all MS exams and those books are good for the 270 and 290.

    Thank you very much. I am pretty sure the 270 is going to be next when i start studying again in a week or two. i was debating between the MS Press and the sybex. i used the MS Press for the 290 and it was kind of dry to read and study from in my opinion, but i also knew most of the material so that may of had a lot to do with it. I know that more then one source is recommended but i feel with the overlap between 290 and 270 i should be good with the MS Press book (probably not sure yet) and the technotes on this site

    Hi sthomas

    I was told that it is best to use the sybex book because the MS Press book in something like a reference book and the Sybex books gives you a lot of hands on exercises. I was reading the MCST 271 books from MS Press however, it was really dry for me and I couldn't get that deep into it like I wanted to.
