Took some time off after 291 to do Sec+ then a studying break. Getting back into 293 was very difficult just because it was mostly a review. I would start reading and then get bored and stop. The only really new thing was NLB/Clustering because PKI was covered pretty well during Sec+. I'm getting 90%+ on my Transcender tests, so I hope I'm ready to go.

This was definately harder than the beast. I've always finished the MS tests with like 1-1.5 hrs to spare. This one I finished with 30 min left. By this time, my brain was so fried, I only double checked a few of the questions. I was not very confident in clicking the end exam button.
On the 291, I was unable to do one of the sims due to Prometric's software issues, but was still pretty confident that I passed.
Usually the Transcender tests seem to be harder than the real exam, but definately not in this case. I'm glad to have this one done with...score was a 781.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 -

Congrats on your pass! But yeah, I agree, 293 is the real beast.WIP: CCENT/CCNA (.....probably)
