Took the 70-290 exam this morning at 9am. Managed to pass with a 928. I really thought I was going to be close to the 700 mark and was worried with a few questions to go, thinking that I couldnt afford to get any more wrong.
As a quick break down i had 45 questions of which around 5 were simulations, which mainly focused on permissions. Lots of questions on backup, about 2 questions on WSUS and the rest seemed to be perfomance monitoring and access to resources.
For the exam prep i studied for exactly 1 month (since my 70-270) using CBT Nuggets, and the big blue MS Press book. What i would say is that I wouldnt rely totally on the MS Press book - There isnt enough coverage on several topics and i found i got asked a few questions which definately were not in the MS Press book at all.
Now ive blasted out the 290 its time for a bit of rest time before spending at least a couple of months on the 291 beast!
Many thanks for the guidance you have given me so far on the forums, im tootling over to the 291 forum now!
