291 Down

cacharocacharo Member Posts: 361
Just got back from passing my 70-291. 3 more tests to go for my MCSE and now I have completed all the objectives for the MCSA.

I studied for 7 weeks using Syngress (for the first time) as my primary source and was very impressed with the layout and content. I also used my usual mats; CBT Nuggets, Transcender, and multiple machines in VMWare and as a bonus used Royal's sweet sticky thread to clear up the foggy areas.

Good thing my books arrived for the 293 yesterday, no days off for me. Back at it tomorrow.

    Congrats, I found 293 to be fairly easy only real new portion for me was CA, Clustering. Everything else was review from 291.

    I received an 800, I had about 6 questions I marked for review that I narrowed down to 2 and then took the 50/50 guess. I likely missed a couple of those. I will take anything over a 699 on my first attempt.
