Trial Run = Success!

Passed the 291 this morning with a 78x. I had a simulation malfunction so I couldn't even attempt to answer it, so that brought my score down some, but after only 2 weeks of studying, I'll take it.

I was originally planning on taking Security+ next to complete my MCSA, but am second guessing myself. I could instead take a MS elective for $125 with two shots at it, or risk $240 on the Security+, which will be mostly new stuff for me. I sure wish my employer was paying for these so the $$ didn't matter. Decisions...decisions...

    Congrats on the pass! icon_thumright.gif

    You bring up a good point with the Secondshot vs. Security+. Learning new material is beneficial, but so is saving money. :)

    Great job!

    A MCSA/MCSE is almost assumed to know Exchange, Sharepoint or SQL Server so you might want to give any of those shot you have some experience in.

    Thanks everyone. I narrowed it down to Security+ and Exchange, and ultimately decided to go ahead with the Security+ since it seems to be a lot less in depth than 70-284. My brain could use a bit of a slowdown. I've done 290, 620, and 291 in the past 6 weeks. It's only money, right? icon_confused.gif
