This test is definitely not easy.....

Just passed today with a 715...
I wish I had a better score and I am a bit disappointed about that.

I found this test challenging. I strongly advise people to not underestimate it! I used MS book, CBTNuggets and Transcender. Neither of these do cover broadly enough all "aspects" of this test, IMHO.
Moreover, knowledge on some "new technologies" are tested and are not covered at all in the above mentioned tools.......
Experience counts, that is true.

Next one will be 290.

congrats on the pass! don't get dissapointed with 715...passed is passed

. Yes i totally agree with you its really a hard exam. It is aimed to measure your skills not only on working with a stand alone machine but also working on an enterprise environment and with different platforms like unix. The key on passing the exam is to setup a lab and simulate task you do not do ocassionally. good luck on the 290.

Congrats, i agree i thought the 270 wasn't a walk in the park. I hope you'll
find the 290 ok. I didnt think it was too bad but i had a bit of experience of
SBS 2003.
Sat and passed the beast (291) yesterday...phew now that was hard but worry
about that later !!
Good luck

This exam is not easy at all, also for me tested much experience and not just skill, because is hard to configure whole scenarios and choose the best answer only having in front a text and time limited.
Well done man and good luck for Your next.
