Passed

Passed on Tuesday.

I couldn’t believe they gave me 3 hours for the test. I did it in 1 hr and 15 mins After the first couple of questions I knew that I would have plenty of time. I was thinking about taking a power nap during the test.

I was very relaxed on this test. That’s the first time I was actually relaxed on a test. I think the testing center helped with that also, very new, clean, cool, quiet, nobody else in the room with me cussing at their test like I usually experience. So at least I didn’t feel like getting up and hitting anyone. It was a bit of a drive for me, but I will do it again just for the environment.

I didn’t get the kind of score I like to get, 775, but I could have done worse and still passed. I’m happy with it.

I started studying for 70-291 when I got home, so hopefully in a couple of months I will be ready for that one.

Congrats. That is the same score I got, and we finished in about the same time too.

Good luck with the "beast" I don't think it is as hard as people make it out to be, but I also haven't taken it yet. Maybe my mind will change if I fail in about two weeks when I take it.

See you in the 291 forum

Just study hard and you will be fine. Check my thread in the 291 forum for some good resources.

Thanks for all the congrats. I will check out that thread. I have started reading the MS Press book for 291, it looks more interesting than 290.

So far for me it isn't. Chapter 1 is pretty good, then chapter 2 drops off, 3 is good again, and 4 is back to boring.

The 291 material will put you to sleep. I'm actually taking a break from studying for a while, the 291 stuff just got so discouraging and tedious. I am reading a couple of normal books and catching up on some gaming before I go back into study mode.

The concepts are highly interesting, it is the nitty gritty that gets boring.
