Taking the 70-680 in 4 hours (edit: PASSED!)

I'm getting ready to sit for the Windows 7 exam in a few hours. I've read Poulton's book and gone through all the labsim material, and scored a 91% on the labsim practice test (first try). It's such a wide topic, I hope the random number generator is good to me

Good luck. Bring back a pass.

Passed with an 820!

It's been said before, but this test is no joke. I don't think there was an area on the test that was missed or underrepresented. I've put a couple months of solid study into this one, and I don't think I overstudied a bit.

For me, while the Labsim presenter was very "insomnia curing" the material itself was solid.

The test center itself was using some pretty retro Dell's with CRT's -- I'm thinking Optiplex GX270's, but I didn't get on the floor to look that closely. The test proctor warned that a popup with an 'access denied' error might come up during the test, just hit OK and the test will continue. I didn't encounter any errors myself though. There was a noticeable delay between questions and the hard drive could be heard thrashing during the whole test.

Anyway, I'm taking a short break, then figuring out what's next!
