Passed 70-680 (900 points) the last day of a second shot :) A week before that (23d) I failed with 660 and wasn't very happy (so to say), because exam wasn't what I was expected at all. Till now remember questions about Parental controls and game ratings in Windows 7. Game ratings, seriously? After failing first time I got bearings what to study and look for, so second shot was piece of cake. I even got to almost identical questions :)
Exam left some doubts about it's purpose - I was concentrating on command-line (dism, netsh, cipher, robocopy etc.) and I was asked only what tools should I use in this or what situation. No command-line specific questions. Strange, because in T.Orin study book it was covered extensively. And where was no Parental Control section in the book too.
Now it doesn't matter - I got my first certificate:D
Good luck everyone.
p.s. First time there was 66 questions and it took like 70 minutes to complete. Second time there was 50 questions and 45 minutes to complete.

    Congrats on passing! Great score.
    They seem to switch up so much stuff on that exam that people have had a hard time preparing for it. Multiple resources seems to be a key for most people in passing this exam.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I would agree with this statement. I took the exam and it sounds completely different than his experience. We will see tomorrow how well I do on it.

    Congratz by the way...

    Congratulations for the pass, it's good that we're not getting the same kind of questions. I had a totally different experience than yours (a lot of command line questions).
