Second time's a charm: killed the beast

I passed the beast today with a 807. I took it last month and failed with a 592. I broke down and got the CBT Nuggets then spent more time on practice tests with Transcender, ProProfs, and here. For my primary studying, I used the Microsoft Guide and the Examcram. Next up for me is the 70-290. I wanted to take the 70-291 while the second shot was still around so I did it first.

    Congrats! That's what I should have done but I was too intimidated by everyone here saying it was a tough test. Hopefully, there will be a date available on or before the 30th if I fail the first time on the 21st. Smart thinking on your part. You also got the hard one out of the way.. the 290 should be smooth sailing.

    How are the CBT Nuggets and the Transcender questions for this test? I have them both already but I'm just starting to study for this test.

    Thanks for the congrats all. The CBT Nuggets were pretty good, it was a good refresher after reading the books and got it in a different way. The Transcender questions are pretty good and give you an idea of what the exam looks like. This one is very case study based and they expect you to apply what you learned to a specific scenario.
