I passed the 70-640 exam this morning on my second attempt with an 850. I felt MUCH better during this test and much more prepared after seeing the exam the first time.
After failing the first time I started reading the Unleashed book but found that it wasn't really what I wanted, I wanted something with more specificity and depth about certain topics. I used technet for the alternate roles (CS, FS, RMS) and then used the 642 book to learn more about DNS. I aced the DNS section, so I would recommend that book for future test takers.
Thanks for the encouragement after my failure last month. Not sure if I am going to continue on in the MS exams, I have to do CEHv7 next and then I am not sure what I am going to do after that.

I am required to do the CEH next, so that will take me more down the route I want to go with my career. I am not sure if having an SA will really be too important, but I suppose it could not hurt.
