Congrats on the pass. I just scheduled my test for June 5th. Its going to be a 300 mile drive that starts the moment I get off work and ends at midnight in a hotel just to get to the test center, but it is the only place around that is offering a saturday exam.

I'm using the self paced training kit listed above, along with the ms press book, cbt nuggets, and transcender.

If I don't pass that is going to be one heck of a drive of shame.

Congrats on the new cert!

@Devilsbane I thought my 1-1/2 hour drive was bad. 300 miles. But then again I can't even find a Saturday testing site in my state..lol

I couldn't either, hence the 300 mile hike.

I am hoping to follow in your footsteps in the next month. So what's next for you???

291, I'm waiting for my books to arrive for it. I am thinking about buying the CBT's for this one considering how hard I've heard it is.

I bought 270,290, and 291 books all at the same time and also bought the cbt nugget pack for all 3 as well. I believe it is $200 for the single, or $400 for all 3.

Congrats!
My backround seems pretty similiar to yours. I just broke out the 70-290 Sybex Study guide. Have the cbt's as well. Question...is your Security+ new? I have it, however it's going on 2yr old this June. Is it still good to use as an elective for my MCSA?

Since CompTIA certs don't expire, and Microsoft didn't make a distinction about which years they would take, you should be good.
