70-623

Jakke

Hi all,

First of all,long time 'viewer' on this forum which helped me alot in the past with my exams.

As i'm doing the vista exams, I still need to do 2 of them. I've allready have the 621 done. Next one up the is 623 and then the 624.

Is there any one who has taken the 623 exam? Any remarks or hot topics that I should know?

Nobody took the exam yet? ^^

Yea, the built-in search can be a bit flaky, especially with small strings. I just use google and filter by site: 623 site:techexams.net - Google Search

Just know where things are. It wasn't too hard, although expected, it was more difficult than the 70-620. As long as you know the basics then run through them with Vista, you'll be fine.

One other tip: Know the exact wording of things. Sometimes, they throw in very similar names for things and one isn't real. Registry Editor vs. Registry Editor Application are two different things to MS (very unthoughtful answer).

Know the little things: firewall, Windows Defender, start up process, remote assistance, Aero, devices (device manager, how to roll back a driver), system restore, etc... The major selling points for Vista. I've noticed that my MCTS/MCITP have been more marketing type things than the MCP exams (70-210 & 70-290).

Good luck!

Jakke how did 623 go for you? I'm booked for next Mon 8th. Any last minute advice for things to focus on? It's about a year since I walked 620 and amazed how much I've forgotten cos i dont use it at work every day.

Any tips much appreciated!

Ive seen lots of simular topic on the 621 exam as in this one. This is more consumer based and lots of exp with vista & hands-on is a real benefit.

I had firewall questions, user questions etc. Afterall,this wasn't a difficult exam. Just make sure you read the questions easy as there is a lot of unrelevant info in them which you don't need.

I have passed the exam with a score of 800! I had 100% in security and networking

Congrats Lefanduch!
I passed 623 yesterday with 900/1000!! Had a perfect score on security and networking too
For material I revisited my copy of TestOut 620 which covers things in enough depth for 623 as well and used the Exam Cram book.
My advice to anyone is read the questions very carefully as some choices are very similar and could seem correct,and use your common sense
