You can do it! Good luck.
My last minute advice would be to slowly read and comprehend the questions, they are not the most well written questions... -

After the first 10 questions, I was sure I was going to fail. I usually mark for review the ones that I'm not sure on and I ended up marking 6-7 of the first 11 or 12. By the end, I had marked over 30
Reviewed all questions and ended up changing 2-3 answers and pretty much accepted that I didn't pass. You can imagine my face when the score came back... 860/900.

Congrats. I felt the same way on the Linux+ test and just stopped marking them because it made me depressed, but I passed as well.Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. -

Congrats!
How did you find the questions? Many people complain about the quality of the writing. CompTIA lets Subject Matter Experts write the questions as opposed to professional exam developers. I don't know that I would trust the average IT guy to write anything. Many of the brightest tech guys I know can't spell or write very well at all. -

Thanks everyone.
I used Skillsoft CBT's (through my employer), the Syngress book and ExamCram2.
There were some questions that were poorly written, but I shouldn't say exactly what was bad about it due to the NDA.CERTS: VCDX #110 / VCAP-DCA #500 (v5 & 4) / VCAP-DCD #10(v5 & 4) / VCP 5 & 4 / EMCISA / MCSE 2003 / MCTS: Vista / CCNA / CCENT / Security+ / Network+ / Project+ / CIW Database Design Specialist, Professional, Associate -

Everyone seems to really like that Syngress book. I think I'm going to pick that one up for me.

Congrats on the pass! I felt the same way when I took mine. I ended up marking down quite a few as well. Good luck on your MCSE, I take the 70-270 tomorrow afternoon. I am used to the Comptia format, so this is uncharted territory on the MS question layout.

Congrats man.
Tis strange, I really felt I was gonna fail this exam while doing it as well but ended up getting pretty much the same score as yourself."There are 3 types of people in this world, those who can count and those who can't"
