Hi
Writing from the Netherlands - Im sitting this exam, my 2nd exam for the 2003 track (sat all but 1 short of the Nt4 MCSE years ago did 5 exams).
I have passed the 290 exam 2 weeks ago 1st sitting with only about 20 hours study and got just shy of 900 score. I guess I cram well.

TIP - I would say it REALLY helps to use the whole time u have there (make sure u eat something slow burning before u go in not a candy bar but like pasta or a baked potato etc)

On the 290 exam i really panic'ed with the simulation and Exhibit questions (i had 6 sims and 5 exhibits).
Are there any of these or of the multiple tickbox (select 2 answers) type deal quesitons on this 270 exam? Or are they all select one answer with no sims?


thanks

No sims on the 270 but there are select all that apply questions.

I passed today with 842. I barely studied at all apart from looking at a pdf of facts and key exam info that they are looking for like winnt.sif as opposed to unattend.txt etc and winnt32 install switches.

After reading alot about ppl abusing these Q&A sheets which i have seen and u do see the exact questions in the exam i choose not to just learn a squillion questions hoping they come up in the exam.

The biggest **** I can recomend is to obvioulsy get some solid experience with the products, dont freak out in the exam and really read the questions thoroughly. The answer is in the question like 80% of the time. Its so important. Oh and i stayed in there until there were only 7 minutes left. Why leave early if u can stay there and be sure every answer is as good as you can make. Review the lot right thru to the end to be sure you dont have to come back out there and resit it.

Good job. Although I wouldn't try to pass these tests without studying. The point isn't to get the test out of the way, the point is to learn and understand the material to make yourself look more valuable in your company.

i left after I finished in 50 minutes mainly because I was always taught that your first answer is 95% of the time the right one, that and I had to get to work 2 hours ago.

I didn't spend much time on the exam either, I know I didn't want to second guess myself. Ended up getting a 952! Wrote in Dec.29
