in Net Infra 70-291
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.

    Nicely done there. That second shot promo thing sure is handy! I'll be using it for my 291 soon.

    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
