294/297 advice.

r0bski

I done the MOC for 70-294 about 18 months ago. Booked the exam as i had to use a voucher before a certain date, and well, i didnt study enough and failed the exam.

I need 294 and design exam for my MCSE, so i'm thinking of doing this.

Restart the MOC book for 70-294, followed by the MSPress book for 70-297.
on completing both, then doing study guide. Then 294 exam, then 297 exam.

Would you say this is OK or should i just do 294 first then concentrate on 297 ?

I'm asking because i will be studying 297 with a mate and didnt want to hold him up, yet the earliest date i could book my 294 retake is 25th Jan 2008!



your thoughts please

I don't think you'll have too much of a problem if you have a good grasp of the 294 material. Just be sure to keep reviewing/studying that as well. The material in 297 will be similar, and looking at AD from a design/planning perspective might even help you understand 294 concepts better. I wouldn't pass up a chance to learn the material with someone; that's an excellent way to learn.

yes, my friend and i went to tutor led courses together, it helped because when i 'was tired' he would urge me to turn up, and same vice versa.

I also thought that the 297 content could help with 294, but not seeing the exams i thought i'd ask here.

Thanks for your points above mate. Taken them in

I'm going to borrow works 294 book tomorrow to compliment the MOC coursebook.
We're planning on starting 297 in the new year so i have a month to read up my 294
