Now that I'm MCDST certified, I can just sit back and watch the job offers roll in & get paid $xxx,xxx.00! ....

JK... I already work F/T in a MIS Dept. Actuality my job paid for all my books & for the tests.
Ok, now about the exam:
It started off great, first 10q were very easy. I thought to myself if it keeps up like this I'll finish in 30mins. Ha! Wishful thinking! I bet as soon as said that it started giving me questions about SP2 (about 10-12 in all) and remote desktop. Well, 5mins left and 17 questions marked for review I ended the exam without changing any answers. I passed, but maybe the only reason I did was due to my lucky boxers I had on(the same ones for 271, but washed .... :P ).
I used MS press books and Exam Cram2 for both tests. I also had the transenders & used the free MS training.
The moral of the story is study hard, use WinXP Home/Pro, Office XP/2003, the MS free training and some lucky boxers.
You will not fail..
