Congrats on the pass!
See, I listened to your advice and did not let this exam sneak up on me! And my years of RDS/TS/Citrix, SBS, IIS, SharePoint, FTP, etc. real-world experience really helped a lot on this one...a LOT. As did having the Hyper-V server for doing labs. I spent 4 hours doing the lab VMs setups a few days ago using the info in the front of the book.
Yesterday afternoon at 1:30PM, I was starting at the beginning of Chapter 5 on page 277. I went straight through (17 hours) and finished the book at 6:30AM, went to bed and slept 2 hours, woke up and did Transcenders and reviewed for 4 hours, and then got a shower and went and took the exam. I fell asleep in my chair at my desk shortly after starting this thread 6 hours ago and just woke up
70-647 in 9 days! My goal is 900+ score...pretty much what my goal always is. My plan is to study 8 hours a day for 9 days for 72 hours total. Much less brutal than doing 22 hours in the 24 hours before the exam!
I'm paying $150 and retaking 70-640 sometime over the next few weeks when I get a few extra hours. While Microsoft may accept a 740 score, I do not. It's personal now and has nothing to do with Microsoft...Nice work! Congrats on the pass!
Thanks!9/1 - Citrix A18 :study:

That's brutal man, wonder why you are so tough on yourself? Congrats nevertheless, passing these exams in a very short period of time is by no means a small feat.
BTW, just sent you a pm about Citrix. -

Many congrats, bit of a relentless schedule
I was under the impression that once you pass an exam you cannot take it again.
I can understand why you want to do this but I would just settle for the score and move on.
Can anyone clarify this? -

Yeah as far as I know, you can not take the same test twice. I believe it says that once you pass the exam. -

I just looked at Microsoft's exam policy again:
"If a candidate achieves a passing score on an exam, the candidate cannot take it again."
So you are correct. Oh well...moving right along...9/1 - Citrix A18 :study:
