O Frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

731.

Wasn't too bad. Was very straight forward. I felt like I was doing great until I hit a bunch of WSUS questions, and I just plain didn't know the material. Did not live up to its reputation. Learning the material was more intense than being tested on it.

Glad it's behind me. MCSA now. Sweeeet.

    Thanks guys! Yes, it's a relief to get this one behind me.

    I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I'm a little confused about the MCITP certs. Not sure how they coincide with MCSA/MCSE

    I want to get updated to server 2008 asap, but I also need to get a job bad, so I need to focus more on that right now, which makes me think I should go for the 70-620 for right now.

    I dunno..

    70-620 is a pretty safe bet as a next step. It will work as an elective, but it will also count for MCITP:EA as well.

    Thanks guys! :)

    Yeah, I think I'm gonna work on 70-620 next. 291 consumed me and I REALLY need to look hard at finding a job, so something nice and light while I do that. Plus I need a break from all that DNS stuff!

    I gotta say, the test out material for 290 really helped.

    Good luck tomorrow, rfult.

    What TestOut 70-290 material was helpful to you that wasn't in the TestOut 70-291 material?

    WAY TO GO! Well done Aqua, I knew you were gonna pass. Nice to get it done on a Friday so you can relax this weekend huh? For a change of pace why not get the Sec+ to earn your MCSA: Security and get an elective for MCSE out of the way?

    I'm going to be brushing up all weekend so no rest for this weary soul. CONGRATULATIONS one more time! :)
    1) CCNP Goal: by August 2012

    Ffffffffffffffffffffanks!

    I do intend on doing Sec+ even though security is probably my weakest area lol But I think for right now the studying required would be too intense.

    Good luck with your studying. You'll be fine. It's not scary.

    Congrats on the pass!!!!!!! I know you have said that you are looking at a job first and studying less due to the circumstances, but if you have testout material there is a lot of overlap on the 293. I am watching some vids from the 293 testout and there are a lot of them that are taken from the 291 section I think that would be your best bet for now.

    Just my 2 cents.
    -WIP- (70-294 and 297)

    Once MCSE 2k3 completed:

    WGU: BS in IT, Design/Management

    Finish MCITP:EA, CCNA, PMP by end of 2012

    After that, take a much needed vacation!!!!!
