Didn't Pass 70-297 today

My paper said "Fail" but it wasn't a failure, I just didn't pass. This is the first test that I haven't passed and the only part that really stings is having to pay the $100 again. It was a learning experience.

The design test format is hard. I knew the material but I had a hard time ferreting out the relevant details. I hit the "5 minute warning" on the second testlet and that threw me into panic mode and I didn't recover on the rest of the exam. I rushed the remaining testlets and ended up failing. I am having a hard time strategizing for time management on this test because the Prometric software sucks big time if you want to go back to a previous question. I also had the most complicated questions and case scenario on my shortest testlet.

Oh well, we'll see how it goes next time around.

Bummer. How close were you?

This exam format is horrible. Many people (yours truly included) like to read the questions first, then go and read the case study. I also notice they like to throw in a lot of useless info in the case study to try and throw you off. Just keep with it and you'll get it.

Transcender IT Certification Prep Training Products - Practice Exams and More helped me for this exam.

would have to agree with post above the best way to deal with this exam is to read the question fisrt then go to the case study and look for the answer this way you save a lot of time by not reading through irrelevant information

I got a 482, the irrelevent information really started to get to me after I lost my focus. I'm retaking the test Friday morning and I feel that I have a better strategy this time.

Moving down to the South is a wonderful feeling. I just laugh now when I see snow up North
