The beast is beaten to a pulp

Well, I finally did it. I started preparing for this test almost 6 months ago and real life got in the way. About 2 months ago I decided to tackle it again and try to squeeze it in before the end of the year. Scored an 880/1000 and it was one wild ride.

My test was scheduled for 10:15am. I walked into the testing site around 9:50am and started the test around 10am. I got up to question 11 and was feeling great about how it was going when it flashed a popup that said "Your time has expired". Pretty strange since I was supposed to have 3 hours and 40 minutes and I had only been at it around 25. After that, it froze. It took almost 3 hours to get it up and going again. so, I restarted my test at 1pm. Quite an ordeal. I really didn't need to sit for 2+ hours and think about the task ahead of me. LOL

Next step is the 70-299. Starting to study later this week when my book gets here.

Congrats! Glad you could kill the beast even after the tiny road block on exam day

Congratulations. It looks like you're going for your MCSA, but if you are working towards an MCSE, you might want to consider taking 293 next. It's essentially a continuation of 291 with some overlap.

I am pursuing a MCSE, just need to get my MCSA first. My work has a "profit sharing" program in which we have to pick a goal and if we obtain that goal within the time period specified, we get a nice bonus. In this case, I get a bonus of 5% of my yearly pay if I get MCSA by the end of January. That's why I'm squeezing in the 299 next. I'll be working on 293 shortly.

I do appreciate the suggestion though.
