I certainly second the comments made my others that have taken this exam. I had little confidence that I had passed any of the sections. The relatively low number of questions, especially for the 70-640 section. I thought I had only scraped a pass on that one - and I assume that getting one more question correct than I thought lifted the score to 880.
I'm glad its out of the way. Next stop 70-647

Congrats man!! I felt the same way you did about thinking I blew this one until the last screen telling me that I passed."Check both the destination and return path when a route fails." "Switches create a network. Routers connect networks." -

Thanks!
There were times when I was preparing for this exam - and indeed during it - when I thought it would be far easier to do 640, 642 and 643 as 3 separate exams. It seems perverse that it is technically possible to fail this exam by getting only 3 questions wrong. I hope MS have a rethink for the format of the next upgrade exams.
Anyway - I used the MS Press book, primarily. However, before it was published, I bought and tried to read the awful Syngress book.
I also used practice tests from SelfTestSoftware, MeasureUp (as included with the MS Press book) and ExamForce.
Following some of the comments previously posted about the 70-640 section in particular, I used the SelfTestSofware practice tests for that exam to give a bit of extra testing in that area.
I would recommend reading a lot around the subject - following the suggested links in the MS Press book, for example, because the books do not cover the complete detail of everything which you will be tested on.-- Dan
