BOTH passed today: Win XP + Vista (MCSA)

OliverG

Hi just passed both of these Exams:

1st was the Win XP 70-270 (cca 800PTS):
- quite easy, but you have to check for deeper details (normal usage is not enought)
- took me about 1.5 hour to do the exam
- studied the MS book for about 5 days, 2 hrs daily
- 55 questions + 2 simulations

the 2nd was Vista 70-620 (EXACTLY: 700PST - inside 700pts club!):
- tricky, normal usage but you have to nkow the update and fresh install procedure.
- studied some eBook for about 6 hrs, one day enought (its quite the same as XP so if you are fammiliar with XP, just know the differences)
- test took me about 1hr 15minutes
(WAS tired - very tired so the last questions, I did not taught about them - becasue the 700 pts)
- 63 questions from those were aprox !!8!! simulations

Get fammiliar with installing, upgrading, minimal required HW, dialup and firewall.

MCSA here I am )

and not MCSA: Messaging - here I come!!

(than Security and MCSE)

Thank you

Oliver

Thanks

Used for 70-270:
- my knowledge.. whats about better than middle but nothing special
- run throu this:

(specially: printers, installing, EFS - things you dont use in real life but need to know for the exam)

Had a look on practice questions.. But thats it.

Most of the questions are solvable by false anwer gone method..

All you used is Technotes? There is enough in Technotes to pass the 270?
