MCSA 2003 : Security - Passed

Hi Guys
I passed 70-291 last saturday with a score of 921. All in all i followed the MS Press along with a Lab i had set up using Vmware. The VMware lab helped me a lot in testing the scenarios within the MSPress. CBTNuggets was a waste of time (and money). I regularly referred other topics within Technet as well. So this gets me the MCSA and the MCSA : Security both at the same go.
good luck to all taking this one in the future.

The MCSE, duh! He can't quit now!
Congratulations!
Congrats on your success
Just bought the 70-291 nugget and am finding it Ok. Some light relief from the MS Press book.
Finding the 70-291 unbelievably dry subject matter and I can see why the term "beast" is used.
How do others rate this particular "nugget" ?
I actually liked the CBT Nuggets for this one, found them to be useful and a nice change from the MS Press book which is very good but a bit dry in areas. Helps studying a variety of different materials to help the subjects sink in that little bit more.
Congrats on the pass Nishesh
