Wanting to take 270...

Thacker

I am fresh off of 271 and 272 for the MCDST.. passed both in the same night....

I am wanting to take the 70 - 270 next week sometime. What is the quickest way to prepare for this test? MS press kit? And are the items on the test a lot like what was on the 271-272?

Thanks,
Brandon

The quickest way to prepare is to use the technotes on this site. I also hear the MS Press books are what you want to get a hold of.

The skills being measured are located here, print them out and compare the differences with the MCDST exams

Also, not sure if you're aware of the "Academic second shot" that Microsoft have on at the moment. If you fail the exam you can retake it for free
