Passed 70-680

WOHOO! I passed 70-680 today, not a great score but 828 is above the required 700

The exam is very enterprise heavy in comparison with 70-620. However, its not really that difficult.

Good luck to other takers.

Well me and my big mouth set a target of 12 for the year

, 7 months 7 exams so far.

Next up will be Citrix XenDesktop (its been hanging around way way way too long), it is set-up nicely by the fact I am off to Citrix (UK R&D at Chalfont) on the 5th of August. They are running a XenDesktop Technical Partner training session there. I have the course checked into my e-Learning (we got it at a heavy discount RRP is over $2K

) so it all fits together nicely.

That sounds excellent, best of luck with that!

1 exam a month eh? theres no way i could do that. I am trying to get this evil 291 out of the way. So far, i have looked at nothing else but dns. I think i am getting somewhere then a transcender practise question appears and stumps me - still a fair way to go, then i have the joys of rras. I think it will take another 2 months to get this one out.

I take it next year you will carry on the same way, or maybe you will have run out of certs to do by then??

Nope, I took two months out back in Feb and March. I have taken two exams a month for the last two months to catch up

I think its fair to say I've got very little more to give right now. I am physically and mentally exhausted. Hopefully the slow up to one each month will seem like a rest

I am lucky, I only had to contend with 70-292 (that and most of the exam was DNS if I remember correctly, I love DNS) which is not as bad a 70-291. Good luck with the beast, I've heard it can take a couple of attempts to nail it.

Next year, at this rate I'll be lucky to be alive by the end of this year. I am going to take it easy next year. Perhaps 3 exams tops

Lucky to be alive.... i'm not surprised after 2 exams per month!

congrats again anyway.

I'm looking forward to doing the 680 myself.... charter member stuff!

Just realised that I have not really posted that much information.

I used the following resources:

Hope this helps someone else on the Windows 7 trail.

Congrats on the pass, I am guessing the temptation for Charter Membership was to much?

The temptation was way too much. I have almost burnt my self out doing this, but the Charter Member numbs the pain oh so slightly

Thanks for your pointers, I've added some additional study material that I found.
