My MCSE certification is now complete :)

Scored 833 in this exam which I'm really pleased with (I thought it was going to be a bit closer to 700 after submitting my last testlet, so was nicely surprised).

Hard exam but manageable with a sound understanding of the topics covered in the 4 core exams. A lot of reading and time keeping involved during the exam!

Best regards,

Jon.

    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I've seen quite a few people run in to problems with 70-297, you seemed to have passed it with ease... Congrats!

    Thank you guys.

    Dakinggamer87: The very best of luck with your remaining MCSE path. One tip I would give in the 297 is to take breaks in between the mini tests if possible (they are all individually timed, so if you've got 2-5 minutes remaining after happily answering all the required questions, use that time to rest & avoid fatigue).

    Asif Dasl: I was greatly apprehensive regarding this exam after reading other candidate experiences. I’m lucky enough to have real word NT4 and 2000 knowledge (even if it was 8 years ago). I believe the knowledge of yesteryear won the battle for me today.

    Excited to be starting the 2008 certification track later this year, though will be taking a much earned summer break in the meantime.

    Best regards,

    Jon.

    Sorry its taken so long to reply.

    The book I used was: MCSE Core Elective Exams in a Nutshell: MCSE Core Elective Exams in a Nutshell: Covers exams 70-270, 70-297, and 70-298 In a Nutshell O'Reilly: Amazon.co.uk: Pawan K. Bhardwaj, Roger A. Grimes: Books

    Read this first then did some sample testlets with the Transcender engine.

    I bought this book as it also covers 298.
