Got it handed to me

Took the beast the other day and failed with a 430. Most questions were on command line tools. Only one sim. Only study material used was the 2277 microsoft book. Any other suggestions for the retake? TIA

Sorry to hear, dude! Yeah... DEF know your commands. I would have to say at least 20 of my questions were based off commands. I used Transcenders and Exam Cram. Try those out!

Good luck!

Thanks to you both. I'll give those a go and hopefully pass the second time around.

Sorry to hear you didn't pass. Definitely hit the hands-on for this exam

Don't think of it as a fail. Think of it as a gage. You now know your weak points and focus on those instead.

That's your first mistake right there...the microsoft book 2277 has a bunch of good labs in it but it doesn't cover everything that you will need to know for the test...which is kind of ironic.

I would use that book in conjunction with another...whether exam cram or syngress or sybex...I got the syngress book myself and thought it to be pretty good.
