70-290 Passed Today

jeg1972

Hi guys

Just thought I'd let you know that I've just passed my 70-290 with 740.

The amount of questions and time limit took me by surprise a bit, I was expecting 40 questions and 3 hours, I got 30 questions and about 2 hours 15mins... no problem though.

I think there were about 6 sims, all of them on share permissions.

Other than that, it /seemed/ easier than the 70-270, but then some of the questions were quite ambiguous.

Cheers

John

Forgot to say; My revision consisted of; ExamCram2 book, Free PrepLogic questions, MOC book/labs and MeasureUp questions. I took a week off work before today and basically did 7/8 hours of work a day.

I've heard people call it 'the beast'. why is 291 perceived to be so hard?

From what I've read in the forums the 291 covers material that most people do not work with on a daily basis. It covers DNS in depth. IPSEC, WSUS, subnetting, RRAS are also covered. Take a look in the 291 forum, you'll get an idea of what you'll be up against. Its do-able, you just have to work harder at it if you don't work with these subjects regularly.
