Microsoft Updates 290 and 291

PawNtheSandman

I just called Prometric trying to schedule another 70-290 test.
The person on the phone told me they cannot schedule 290 or 291 exams until next Friday. When asked why, the person said that Microsoft is rehauling both exams to make them simulations.

I am really getting worried because I already failed 2x and these simulation questions have so many varibles that you can screw up.

Anyone know some good practice simulators?

Well I'm in the exact same situation, I just wrote the exam for the second time on the 29th and blew it! I used some good pratice software (SelfTest, WhizLabs) nailing almost every test (lowest was 94%) sat the exam (failed by 22) and was blindsided by some questions that were not covered in any of the material I studied (MOC-2273). I swear it's the luck of the draw with these exams. Anyway, excuses aside, your right to worry, now we all have to prove we can do it, and that takes repetition and experience. I know that's good, but it's a pain in the a$$ failing.

Some suggestions:
MCSA/MCSE: Windows® Server 2003 Network Simulator(tm) (70-290, 70-291, 70-293, 70-294)
