Pass today with score of 871!! Thank god!! I dont think I could take anymore of going over everything!! I was a little surprised the exam was not was indepth as I imaged. Just concepts of doing things. Think I had 6-8 sims, all very straight forward. Very happy passing after having to constantly stop-start this exam for holidays etc.

I used the MS-Press book, CBT Nuggets, Technet, loads of other articles from searching google and Exam Cram (Biggest waste of money). I'd say if you want to get this done make sure you have time available, no stop starting. If I knew the exam was like this I may have taken it sooner. Though I think on some questions my knowledge worked on picking out the wrong answers, which I guess still works!!

Thanks to anyone that answered any of my questions on this forum. Guess I will be starting the 70-293 (after a few beers ), Is this the one call the Monster?

Congrats! I'm surprised to hear that the exam wasn't quite as in-depth as you thought it would be. This only means good things for me since I'm set to take it this week as well.

Without breaking NDA, what would you say is the trickiest thing you encountered on this test? Any facts or areas that you wished you brushed up on beforehand?

Hmm thats a good question, I do wish I brushed up a bit more on RRAS, I left this part as I thought I was fine till the night before the exam when I had a look over . But from looking at the score sheet think I didnt do that bad.

If you have read the MS-book, done some labs and had a play your be fine, you probably want an even knowledge of all the areas. I found the questions in the MS press test thing far harder, the fact that some of the questions have the wrong answers dont help aswell.
