Die Beast....took it this morning, passed with a 778

Congrats dude. I'm the new guy. I know you don't know me as nobody here knows me. 70-270 was almost a fun test. Well, it was as fun as a test could be.

I scored a 9-something on that one which was my highest score out of my MCSE tests. GOOD LUCK!

Good job. What study materials did you use?

Welcome to the forum Big Jim, hope to hear more from you.

Thanks guys. Well, I used everthing I always used (Microsoft Press books and test sims) but this time added in the CBT Nugget video for 291, everyone is right about those videos, they are great!

Thanks again guys, one more test and I'm MCSA!

Congrats!

I'm studying for my 70-270 too, I notice there is A LOT of material on XP.....Even being an XP user for the past 4 years or so, there's much I didn't know.

Congratulations on the pass, and good luck on that last exam. And remember, since you already have 70-620, that counts as you desktop OS exam, so you don't have to take 70-270, if you're itching to get moving on something else or want to try your hand at something new for your elective.

congrats, Passed this PITA friday so I know how you feel

Yeah, it's not a test I would want to take again! I think I got a pretty fair score too!

With my luck, I'll wind up with a 699.5

Congrats to the OP

Well, I have 70-270 scheduled for Monday morning, if all goes well I'll be MSCA after that! I figured I would save XP for last, but I will probably be doing some security or maybe web server ones after that's done (I'm a hosting operations engineer)
