Thanks for all the help guys (you know who you are) for the tips and advice towards this exam. I passed today with a nice 768. I even spotted 2 questions in the review after that I had clearly got wrong that I should of had really but all in all i'm well happy with my score, it's a tough exam to congrats to everyone else who has worked hard to get this one. To me, this was harder than 291 and it seems by the subjects that it will be the hardest exam on the MCSE..for me anyway.
I'll be honest and say that for my first exam, even though I only failed by a few marks, i'm glad MS failed me on it as it really did make me go back and re-revise all my weak areas and really boost my overall knowledge of this exam so that I deserved to pass rather than scrape through.
My references were the official MS book and watching the good old CBT Nuggets that helps you visualize what is actually going on. I also used some Virtual Servers to test policies and CA.
I got 5 sims in this exam!

I thought you got between 1 and 3? Anyway, on to 294!
