Just wondering how many time each person has faced the beast.

    I think I can beat most in number of attempts. But I'll confess that when I actually do pass the damn thing.

    I passed on the first attempt, although i did already hold a CCNA which gave me a definate advantage.

    Check out the TestOut training suite, I find the videos quite good and always recommend them
    Check out my blog for information on the MCITP Certification.

    Wow, nearly 70% passed on the first try. I wasn't expecting that number with all the grumbling that goes along with this exam icon_eek.gificon_lol.gif

    Just Passed the beast in my 1st attempt few minutes ago after several months of scheduling and re-scheduling.
    I was really scared of the exam 70-291

    I scored 700!!!
    Am really happy for this, because am sure i did not join those who **** themselves by using all stuff of cheating materials. and this reveal to me where i need to improve myself despite the passing.

    Materials used: CBT Nuggets, MS Press and VTC - Preparing for MS 70-291 by Brian Culp.

    To be candid, i have bee using CBT Nuggets for most of my past exams, but for this 70-291, the use of VTC, put back into me the courage to sit for the exam, it more clearly explain than the one am used to.

    for other exams i still wish to continue the use of my CBT products.


    I hope to give more details on how it went later.

    Cheers all. I really appreciate you all for various contributions on this site.

    Keep it Up!!

    I'm not really surprised by the results. I'm convinced "the beast" is mostly hype....the other MCSE exams (293, 294, 297/298 ). IMHO are the real "beasts" icon_wink.gif
    WIP: CCENT/CCNA (.....probably)

    Wow. Everyone is possibly not posting if they had to take the beast more than once or something. I'm not scared. I took the beast 3 times. I actually tried this exam the first time before I new of the "label" of this exam. I took it once and got a 670 something. I tried it again the next day, and failed again with a 650 something. I decided to take the 70-290 exam before I tried the beast again. It worked. Once I had some experience with server 2003, I nailed the beast.
    Taking 70-294 very soon...again
