70-643 Passed

in MCTS / MCITP on Windows 2008 General
Passed 70-643 today at second attempt.
Got 713 as opposed to 657 a month ago :)

Found this test MUCH harder than my previous one.

Usual heavily tested topics came up, thicker and faster than previous exam.

I wondered if choices made in pre-exam "Survey" decided my set of questions - uncanny co-incidence.

Anyway a pass is a pass as they say, onto Windows 7 next, after a beer or three.........

    Congrats on the pass! The 643 is my next exam. How many questions? Anything on the exam catch you by surprise?

    I've often wondered about the pre-exam "survey" also. I just select the same thing for every question.

    Well done, 643 is definitely no pushover.

    Were many of the questions related to PowerShell or how to do things via the command line? I ask because that's probably my weakest area. I'm a GUI-guy!

    Sybex books for 70-643 - old version and new version.

    MS Training Kit - not a fan of the MS kits icon_sad.gif

    Transcenders

    Also tried Measureup - not as good as above but put a different slant on some questions.
