Thinking about an exam date

May take this soon with my coming paychecks, and I have a voucher to use. :P

Question though, does anyone know if you can pay to take exams in cash? or does it have to always be via a card? I payed for all my previous exams over the phone with a card. I'd rather pay with cash this time though, since I'm opening a new account soon.

I've been studying my MS Press book like mad and taking the practice exams on the CD. I've also been glancing through some other 70-270 books at a local bookstore, so should that be enough to get me through this test or do I need other sources? I think I've nailed most of the objectives.

    unsure about the cash thing, Ive always used my CC. as for preparation, if you have a fair amount of experience with XP (assuming most people do), then you should be fine. Just brush up on the technologies that are rarely used; ie RIS, EFS, etc. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of IIS, so I reviewed pretty hard. The technotes here are EXCELLENT for this exam. Id read those over thoroughly as well.

    best of luck man! icon_thumright.gif

    Yeah, I just plan to pull up some videos on RIS. The other stuff seems simple enough...just worried about confusing questions regarding switches/parameters. There are plenty.

    true, but i dont recall seeing much on command line stuff. That is to say you should still know them for the exam.

    Don't underestimate this one. Just having hands on experience might not be enough... I hate to say it but I was surprised at how much I didn't know! It became very clear once I read the Sybex book for this exam.

    Good luck!

    Yeah, unfortunately there's a lot of stuff you really don't need to know...like for workgroup security. :p bleh

    But oh well. I suppose it wouldn't be an OS exam if it didn't cover every aspect of the system.
