Finally completed my EA quest! Actually before exam I was very unsure about my readiness for this exam, because I had only 3 weeks to prepare and it was short 3 weeks because I had work overtime at work. But I have been backed up with second shot, so decided to give a try.
What to say - exam was really hard. First part - 5 testlets, with 6-7 questions each and only 23 minutes for one testlet. This was first time when i run out of time. And questios wasn't very easy. Second part consisted of 19 questions as in other MS exams and looked like filling forms - easy.
I was bit shocked when read "congratulations - you passed" and score 812 was way above what I expected (expected something 650-710)
.
My preparation for this exam was only old MS Press book for 70-647 - hardly covers 50% material and Preplogic MegaGuide - also outdated and doesn't cover R2. No labing, no video, no anything else - had no time. I wasn't worth passing, but I guess it was my lucky day
.
Anyways I'm glad this stage completed because it took already 11 months of my life to get ready and pass MCITP: SA, DBA '08 and EA.
