in Network+
I am so happy I passed this today. I was quite nervous in taking this test. My test was 90 minutes and 90 questions. I was surprised to see some questions I didn't know one of the answers for and other where all 4 answers could be right. I got a lot of OSI questions and a few wireless N questions which I read up on before the test.
materials used:
1: exam prep 2005
2: cbt nuggets 2005
3: VLC networks+ 2005
4: Technotes book
5: exam prep questions
The training videos each concentrate on different areas which I found both very helpful for supplementing but not for test knowledge. It helps to see visual demonstration to put the pieces together. Considering I have no experience in computers, other then building my own rack server with 7 rack servers, these helped a lot. Now on to the windows 2003 MCSE! Thanks for all the help from forum members. This forum is great!

Devin McCloud Member Posts: 133I am definitely taking Microsoft up on it's pass or it's free 2nd chance offer. What do you guys suggest 70-290 first or 70-620 first? Either way if I take the Vista 70-620 first I plan on studying for the 70-270 and then studying for the 70-620 and test out on the Vista cert. I feel I have a lot of XP experience but want to know everything I can. Because in my opinion most business's will be using xp and 2003 in the next 3 years. I have seen a lot that just upgraded this year to Windows 2003 server.The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.

Devin McCloud Member Posts: 133One thing I thought I would note for people thinking about taking this test, mine was 90 minutes and 90 questions. It came down to :32 seconds left when I finished. I had marked 24 questions for further review that I was not 100% sure about and then went back and slowly took my time to figure out the right answer by eliminating 2 absolutely wrong answers and giving myself a 50% guess. There were probable only 12 that I was not sure of whether it was x or y. It might help to practice with some testing software that is timed. This one was very close in time for me.The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.

mamono Member Posts: 776 ■■□□□□□□□□The 70-620 Vista exam is valid for the OS Core requirements for MCSA/MCSE 2003 as well as for all the 2008 track of MCITP exams. Good to get one out of the way that is a requirement for others. If you want to know about WinXP, you could consider taking the MCDST track, 70-271/70-272 exams, then upgrade with 70-621 MCITP:EST that will count for credit on all 70-620 requirements. Many Tier 1/2 Desktop Support positions in LA require MCDST.
