Entering "The Beast" lair this Monday - PASSED 920

I've studied almost every resource that I was able to get my hands on.

Trainsignals DNS/DHCP/Routing and Packets/VPN
Testout 70-291
CBT Nuggets
MS-Press 70-291
Transcenders
Techexams 70-291 sample questions

I think it's time to take a visit to the beast.

NICE congrats!!!

May I suggest 70-270?

should be cake if you already passed 290

All you need after that is an elective and voila, MCSA

at the time, I was dying to try out an infosec exam. Sec+ was right up my alley. I was originally going to take 290/291 first, but I decided to try something different.

The exam itself is notorious for badly worded questions. however, if you know your stuff well, youll do fine. The sec+ exam section on this site is full of good study advice, and the technotes are top notch; and they are FREE!!! I used these to pass in a little under 2 months, along with a few books. I had minimal security experience prior to my exam. I would recommend this exam for sure, especially for MCSA/E track. You get the Sec+ credit, AND it counts towards your MCSA/E. No brainer, IMO.

Noob question, if you get security + is that enough to become a MCSA? let's say you nailed 270, 290 and 291?
