Best advice i can give you is to look at your score report. From there look at the areas that you got a bad score on and focus on those.

This is a harder exam than most people think. I personally did the Vista exam after joining this forum after seeing countless people fail the XP exam.

Best of luck and keep at it. I am sure you will get it next time.

I done the 70-290 first, it helped me the real life situations questions.
I'm not saying to study for the 70-290 and then the 70-270 but like ULWiz said look at the score report and focus on your weak areas and try to work out why it's your weak area.

Hit the areas your weak in. Becuase, I think they will "jam" you again in those areas on a retake! They did it to me, and I failed! They do have your history in their database about you! I used several sources as well to study from! I think I will look at another source and just study from it on my weak areas only!

Just review your score sheet and retake it. I failed it my 1st try, studied and retook and passed it 2 days later

You'll certainly get hit with question you never throught of with these MCSE exams.

Most of the time I tell people start with the MCDST and 70-620 exams before the 70-270. People who are familiar with XP in terms of desktop support can sometime be shocked by the exam and they get in there and see it from a administrative point of view.

Best I can tell you is read the Sybex book again, and run every lab.
Read the Microsoft Press one as well, and do every lab. There are quite a few in there and all of them will be covered on way or another on the exam.
For your questions... Trancender questions are a must. Dont' just google the answers that you don't get. Create a lab based around the concept.
