70-291 retiring soon?

kadshah

I haven't had a chance to look into it yet but just wanted a quick response. Is the 70-291 getting ready to retire soon? I'm thinking of taking the exam. I have the sybex study guide as well as the CBT nugget video. I took a quick look at the objectives and feel comfortable with it. What is the passing score again?

There's no sign of any exams on the 2003 track retiring yet. I think HR depts and companies worldwide still need time to get used to the MCITP 2008 track yet. I reckon it will be around for another year, maybe 2.
The passing score for all MS exams that I am aware of is 700/1000. The CBT Nuggets are very good for the 291.

According to Microsoft's website:

"You can earn the MCSA or MCSE on Windows Server 2003. These certifications will not retire and will continue to hold their market value as long as organizations seek professionals skilled in Windows Server 2003. "
