70-680 passed today

I came to this exam having a bunch of credentials that should have allowed me to make short work of this exam.

That assumption was Bull **** . I found this exam more difficult than all previous MCITP series exams.

I wonder if that questionaire at the beginning is bogus and really did set me up for what was coming.

65 questions, 2hrs - I used 1 -1/2 hrs. Reviewing answers twice. And I 'm glad I made those changes.

Questions were no more than a sentence or two long. Wording is the key.

Mine was heavy on deployment, command line options, remote access, security options, certificates,subnetting etc. A very comprehensive exam.

2 weeks study.
Materials used were the MS book and the Configuring Windows 7 by Sean Oldom.

If you rely on the later you will fail - Don't even bother with it !!!

Passed with a 866 - Just about puked on the screen this time while waiting for results.

My time with MS is over for a few months while I wait for a couple of exams to be released - for the next 6 weeks it's CCNA.

I also bought the Sean Oldom book. Completely worthless for a study ad.

Congrats on the pass, and good luck with the CCNA!

Er. Yikes? I mean, congrats on the pass, but we were all under the assumption that this thing was going to be easy. This news is... unfortunate. I feel a "KHAAAN!" rising up.

Oh, and good luck on the CCNA!
