This forum has been a great help to me in passing the 70-680.
Recently, as in two months ago, a very unique and surprising opportunity landed in my lap. Prior to that I had ZERO IT experience or anything of the sort.
My first assignment was to study for and pass the 70-680. Again, with no experience in the field or taking these sort of exams I spent a month reading the Microsoft book and studying with those materials. I took the 70-680 at the beginning of June and failed with a 600. I was really surprised at how dissimiliar the test questions were to the sort of samples provided with that book.
I spent a few weeks studying more and used the Transcender test to help. That's also when I ran across this forum which provided me with encouragement, resources, and just general knowledge about the test.
This last Saturday I took the test again and passed with an 800. Wicked awesome.
But really, if I can pass the test with only two months of studying ANYONE can. So if you've failed it once or twice before, just remember me and my success and that should be enough to motivate you

Thanks again!
