in Windows 7 exams
I passed the 70-680 exam today with a 809! This is my first certification and I'm pretty excited about it. I put in a lot of studying over three months or so using the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit for configuring Windows 7, the Train Signal videos, and the Professor Messer videos. I also supplemented this with random TechNet articles on subjects that I needed more work on. I had a VMWare Workstation lab set-up where I did most of the labs in the Training Kit. And then did the practice tests like crazy the last couple of weeks.

I'm looking for some suggestions on what to tackle next. I'm considering 70-685, 70-686, 70-640, and ITIL V3. My ultimate goal is to become a Systems Administrator, but at the same time I'd really like to "master" Windows 7. And by getting the ITIL certification, I'd like to make job prospects easier. So, I'm not sure what's next. Oh, and I have to take the test before Skyrim comes out;)

Any suggestions?

    How did you find the exam? Was it as difficult as the MS Press Book and Prof Messer's videos?

    The questions were about as hard. I practiced those exams until I was getting 90%. Good luck!
