70-290 Passed Today!

I passed the 70-290 this morning with the lowest score possible of 700. ( Talk about living on the edge)
To be honest I could have done better but I guess I was under estimating the exam having slayed the beast last month...... Yes - the Beast.
I am kind of working my way backwards I will be doing the 70-270 next then hopefully 70-620(as an elective) to complete the MCSA.

The 70-290 was evenly spread out but the majority of simulations (8 in total) where all to do with AD Users, Groups, Permissions etc.etc. Study Material : MS Press & Measure up
Anyway, Thank you very much to evryone who posted tips on this Forum.
Many thanks indeed.

Congrats!

The 290 has material that every should know for everyday sys-admining. It would be good if you went over what you didn't know before moving on.

First off, congrats on the pass - good feeling. But I am with Mishra here, 290 is what everything is based off of. Wouldn't hurt to brush up on some of the stuff you saw as confusing.

Congrats on 290 and belated congrats on 291!

OK I agree 70-290 is the admin stuff. Watch out for Backups and RDP stuff. Of all the of things, RDP caught me out the most as I was not expecting too many RDP and permissions questions. Of course I can't get into detail but all I can say is know your RDP well before you take this exam
