hello everyone,
today I went to the testing centre to attemp passing the 70-291 (THE BEAST), I scored 854, I took my time for this exam (after reading a lot in here, how hard this exam is). Well I feel like I wasted at least 1-1,5 months of my time (it took me 3,5 months)

My thoughts:
I would compare it to 70-290, if it comes to difficulty, for me so far the toughest was the SECURITY + (Comptia). Hope this doesn't invalidate the NLA, but there was not even 1 very lengthy question. If you got through the Microsoft book (fairly), then you should be fine. I personally used CBT, MICROSOFT, SYBEX and TESTOUT.

Anyway onto 70-293, I suppose this makes me MCSA:Security (I will wait for Microsoft though).

good luck to everyone, this forum is the best

I don't think any time was wasted. If you were learning throughout that entire time, then you got something out of it. There's more to this than just passing exams.

I don't think 291 is as hard as it is broad (that's what she said). It's just easy to get overwhelmed with all the information.

Congrats on the pass

Congrats on passing the exam. To get the MCSA: security you will need to take the 299. You can also contact CompTIA to have them send your exam scores to MS.
