What resources did you use for the 70-431? I'm currently studying for it, so any advice will be appreciated.
Hi there,
I have to say, the MOC kits are really crap for the 70-431, as the stuff in the exam was not really in the books. I realised that this 70-431 exam is quite different from all the others - There're two sections, first on has MCQs and the next has Simulations. I think the simulations were the ones that bore the most weight... I mean, you have close to 3 hrs for 15 sims...
To do well in this exam I think you need to learn how to do your backups, differential and transactional log backups, 'cause a lot of that was on the exam for me. The sims just tell you what to do, and you do it... But all in all, I think I was lucky to get 940/1000 for the exam.
One word of advice - The internet is a great resource for the 70-431 exam. Lots of people had done it and you can get more advice from them too.
All the best to you!
Cheers,
Nick
