700..Exactly
I broke down my areas with a ruler..not pretty..lol
Configuring IP Addressing and Services - 78%
Configuring Name Resolution -72%
Configuring Network Access - 73%
Configuring File and Print Services - 20%
Monitoring and Managing a Network Infrastructure - 85%
Considering the only thing I studied the last week was Monitoring & Managing a Network Infrastructure and Print & file services. Print and file services almost failed me. If it had been worth more than 13% I would have failed.
I'm gonna break out the resource measure up recommended for it..Vista Resource Kit. The 70-642 training Kit and Sybex both did me no good in that area.

No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

WOW, that was close congratulations a pass is a pass like every one said. I got 950 and I did as well lose marks in File and Print (which I thought was the easiest one to study. -

The weird thing about file and priny services is that I had done a couple practice tests before covering those sectione in the book..and that was my strongest area then (Measure up included with the book) After studying the chapters dealing with file and Print services my performance on that area of the practice tests dropped significantly.WOW, that was close congratulations a pass is a pass like every one said.

I don't think the MS Press book covered that area very well. I'm getting on Books 24x7 today and reading the chapters in the VistaResource Kit relating to File and Print Services.No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -

Odd. Just liek when I was in highschool my second math ACT score dropped 2 points, despite taking an entire year of college algebra and college physics.After studying the chapters dealing with file and Print services my performance on that area of the practice tests dropped significantly.Decide what to be and go be it. -

I agree 100% that's why I used both sybex and ms books because in my opinion they complete each. -

The Sybex is a little better in that area than the MS Press Training kit. The Vista Resource kit is WAY better. I would have aced that area if I had used the Vista book for that areaI agree 100% that's why I used both sybex and ms books because in my opinion they complete each.
@everyone above- thanks for the congrats and all.
Started on the 643 studies already. I'm using the MS Press training kit, Sybex, Claymoores sticky resorces, Train signal videos, and for practice tests I'm using Transcender and the included measure up with the book.
Just got the Trainsignal and so far I like the instructor (Ed Liberman) who does the training. He's using 2k8 R2 but he does make sure to explain the differences to 2k8 when there are any.No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.
