Passed 70-294 with a 700
![Shadly1](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030959/uploads/userpics/navatar286966_4.gif)
Hey guys. This is my first post here. I've been lurking for several months though. I passed my 70-294 with a 700 yesterday. That is my second 700 in a row. I gave this test 8 weeks of study time. I did a little extra because the people on these boards mentioned this test sneaking up on them and biting them in the butt. I used Microsoft's 2279 videos and lab environment, MeasureUp, and 70-294 Self Paced Training kit. I'm not much of a reader and that Self Paced Training Kit is 1360 pages!!! That's a personal accomplishment right there, let alone the test.

Thanks. Some of those questions were really out of the blue. Next up is 70-298 to complete my MCSE. At some point in the very near future, I'd like to take the upgrade path to MCITP but I'll need to focus on employment first. -

That's my second 700 in a row. I did that on my 70-293 after 3 fails. That one was a monster though. Test anxiety is gonna kill me! -

Yep, I did that on the 70-290. Congrats to the OP on what has to be the hardest exam in the MSCE series. -

Congrats. A pass is a pass.
Q: What do they call a guy who scores 700 on seven Microsoft exams?

Congrats!
I'm also a member of the 700 club (70-680). It wasn't because the test was hard, though (obviously). It was because someone forgot they had scheduled their test until the night before!

I managed to score 700 on the 70-293. I see so many comments that 700 is not an acceptable score so was pleased to see some more grounded comments in here. These exams are damm hard.
I am currently booked in for my 4th attempt at 70-294 tommorow and feel sick. I know my stuff in the real world but what gets me is:
- anything with Multiple domains
- Group policy is a killer
- Groups
The last exam only really showed me being weak in Group policy, I failed with 626.
Any tips for tommorow would be appreciated - oh any oneone who has passed this exam is a God on my book.

Thanks for that, I don't have a day before guide, if you know where you can find these please let me know.
I really need to get this exam out the way leaving 297 and then can take a small break before the upgrade exams.
I think you are right about working out working out what microsoft are trying to get at.

I'm not allowed to post up copyrighted stuff but this link might help...
ftp://ftp.sybex.com/4262/4262ch01.pdf It's publicly available from Sybex so I figure it's safe. I used one from MeasureUp. MeasureUp's was about half as many pages as this one and the content was much more compressed.
EDIT: Wait, that's just a chapter. Let me look a little more... -

Sorry man, I can't seem to find any free ones online that aren't swiped copyrighted stuff. Check with the suppliers of your study materials. I'm sure they have something along those lines. -

You could just read the summary at the end of each chapter in the study guide you have. If you find anything you are not 100% confident on, review the appropriate sections in the chapter.MentholMoose

I gotta tell ya though... I'm currently working on 70-298. I really wish I had studied up on this before I took the 293 and 294. There's a lot of relevant stuff in here for the security portions of those test. PKI, EFS, IPSec, trusts, IIS... I just got through a section on archiving certificates that I know for a fact I struggled with on the test. -

Evening all
Thought I would reply and say that I passed my 70-294 exam today with a score of 754. This exam is truly a hard one compared to all the others I have taken including 70-291 which I thought was ok and passed 1st time.
Thank you for all the comments, now to complete my MCSE with 70-297 - any tips for this would be gratefully received.
