220-601 :Passed:

Riskbling

Passed the essentials today with a score of 893/900, almost a perfect score. I plan to take the 220-602 (Technician) on the 17th, but pretty much I consider my self certified, since rumor has it Technician is easier.

As far as study materials, I read the Sybex Complete book and took as many practice test as I could get my hands on. I also have had a lot of experience, so that surely contributed.

Things to know:
- ntbooddy.sys
- DHCP, APIPA
- MSDS
- Upgrade paths (Win2k - XP, etc)
- Customer Service
- Chkdsk, Defrag
- System Restore, ASR, ERD
- Printers (Nothing in depth)

This is also my introduction as well since I could not find a section for that lol.

Hello peeps I just came back from the test, passed the 601 and planning on taking the 602 now soon, my question is, is the 602 basically same as 601 or should i further study for the 602?

congrats on the passes!

As for 602 vs Essentials...it's covering the same topics (there really isn't much difference between the objectives for the two exams), but it seems like it's with a more customer service & troubleshooting slant.

Don't be over-confident about 602. I passed 601 first try, got a 725. I went into 602 with a lot of confidence and did NOT pass it! I studied more, and re-took it. Passed 602 with an 850. There's just so many variables. You never know what you're gonna see on a test. Definately, study. I didn't think it was as similar, or as easy, as others have felt. Everybody's different AND everybody's test is different. Good luck!

I'll keep that in mind. Everyone is different, but I do hear that the 602 is easier from most people. I guess it may be the luck of the draw. Thanks for the input.

Just passed 220-602 with 847. A lot of customer service questions that could of went either way. Personally, I thought the 220-602 questions required a more in depth examination before you were able to answer the questions, but was a lot more soft skills than technical skill.

Officially A+ certified, and perhaps I'll move onto this addiction with the Network+ certification.

I actually went to a vocational school in high school, that helped a little. Other than that I just read Sybex All in One and googled practice test.

I too think the 602 was easier than the 601 but that it no reason to take it lightly...
