Preparing for "The Beast"

Rising Techie

I just obtained my MCSA and I just joined this site. I'm curious about how well the practice questions provided here have helped any one. I'm going to tackle "the beast" next but I'm a little worried about it. I haven't used practice questions since I passed 70-210 and I've been studying with the ill-reviewed Mike Myers Passport Series for most of my exams, coupled with hands on practice using the evaluation version of Advanced Server. Some how, I've managed to squeak by, which has kept me coming back to the Passport Books, despite the negative reviews. I have a feeling 70-216 is going to be different and I'll need a little testing experience to get a feel for what the questions are going to be geared towards. Just curious as to how valuable Techexams.net's practice questions are in the prepartation process. I'm also a little curious about what makes 70-216 so hard for most. Is the material just harder to comprehend, harder to know what to apply, or are the questions just more ambiguous than others? Any advice would be appreciated.

The questions here are a wonderful resource to help get you prepared for this exam.

I think what makes this test harder for some than others in the focus on subnetting (which, for the record, my exam had very little of). I used the MS Press Training Kits for preparing for these tests - the questions at the end of each chapter were good to let me know if I really understood the material and the mock test at the back of the book was a great indicator for me. I've heard that the passport series of books are a bit on the light side and don't give you another depth on the topic.

Check MS's website for the specific objectives and skills being measured and just be sure you understand everything on the list.

Best of luck to you.
