I had taken this exam for the THIRD TIME yesterday and FINALLY passed it! Not sure if it's a coincidence or what, but all 3 times I had the SAME questions and answer choices.
Although I had the same questions and answer choices, but had chosen different answers, I came out with the same score of 600. Well, I searched on google, remembering some of the questions considering I had taken it twice with the same copy and realized that majority of the material that was on the test was NOT in any of the books I've read. I've read the MCTS: Windows 7 Self Paced Training Kit, and the Windows 7 Study Guide by Sybex.
Preparing for the third attempt, I watched the whole course of CBT Nuggets and half of Train Signal, and recorded 36 pages of notes in Word and taking PLENTY of practice questions on
Windows 8 new features, Windows 7 tools, Exam 70-642, Exam 70-680 practice tests, no brain **** in all the Windows 7 categories. After taking the exam yesterday with the same copy of course as the first two attempts, I left out holding my score of 918!
If someone can show me how to upload attachments here, I'll be glad to upload my notes as well. Also, please know that my notes are 34 pages and I have been using Windows 7 since beta, so not 100% of the exam is in here but a great bit of the information is.
