About time! I was on quite a roll. I had passed the 290 & 291 each in 2 weeks time. Took a month to study for the 293 and failed (See link below). I dang near ran out of time the 1st time around. This time it was a breeze. I found that I didn't do so well on the sims the 1st time around and for some reason was very nervous. Thanx to the TechExam members for all your help and inspiration! See you in 294!

    I wonder if you'd get 1040 if you were to take it again icon_scratch.gif

    Congrats on the pass and good luck with 294! icon_cheers.gif

    I used CBT nuggets and TestOut. Those are the only resources I used for Net+, 290, 291 & 293. I consider TestOut priceless.

    Yes....Like everyone says, make sure you got NLB/Clustering, IPSEC/Security and GPO down cold. Do not underestimate DNS on this one either. The one thing that is pretty bad about this exam (like other MS exams), it is really wordy. I swear you have to read a full page of mumbo jumbo and determine what is relevant and what is not. Time management is crucial. Good luck to all!

    Nice score and congrats!

    This test is indeed very wordy. Good luck with the 294, expect a lil' bit more of the same.
    WIP: CCENT/CCNA (.....probably)
