Passed 70-210 today with a 904. Was sure, based on the practice software I used (Beach Front Quizzer, Exam Prep, Sybex Virtual Test Center) that I was going to fail. Never achieved over 80% on any of those adaptive or traditional simulations.
Here's the funny part-- I earned A+, Network+, i-NET+ and MCP on Win98 doing self study. Decided to do MCSE 2000 by signing up for a 14 day boot camp ( I was busy and lazy); Paid TechTrain in Charlotte, NC $7000.00 for the camp. They went bust before I could drive over there.
Total cost for my previous four certifiations - $900.00 including test fees and books.
Total cost for me (the sucker) to pass 70-210 if you count the boot camp, books, CBT nuggetts and Virtual Test software - $7,800.00. WHAT A BARGAIN!
Sorry so long...just had to vent somewhere!
BTW - for me this test wasn't as hard as Network+ and it didn't contain the super LONG questions that my simulations did. 50 questions; 700 score to pass; 2 hours for time limit.

Congratulations on the pass. but 7 thousand bucks is just 2 much for one exam. don't buy into those kinda things anymore. get yourself a good study guide (MS press for MS Exams) and a good prep exam software (Trancenders) and you're done. You can cover the whole thing with less than 500 bucks
anyways, congrats.
