This exam should be called The Beast, not The Beast Jr.!  I finished with only about 10-15 minutes to spare, and felt rushed through the whole thing because of the length of the questions.  I felt I was guessing on most of the questions.  I ended up with a score of 574.  

  The sims consisted of GPOs and Certificates.  According to the score report, the only section I passed, with almost a perfect score, was the "Plan, Implement, and Maintain Security Infrastructure".  The other five sections I did terrible on.  Well, back to the drawing board.  I'm planning on going through the whole Syngress book this time around, and probably focus on one chapter a week (maybe two if the chapter seems pretty understandable).  

  In any case, like others have said, please do not underestimate this one.  IMO this was a lot more difficult than the 291.
