70-640 and 70-642 question

I have been using the trainsignal videos to study for my 640 exam. I also picked up some practice questions and when going through the practice questions I have noticed that they focus heavily on DNS and CA.

The DNS questions have a lot to do with configuring zones, which is not really covered in the 640 trainsignal videos. In fact the DNS section is pretty basic in those videos. But if I watch the 642 trainsignal video DNS is a lot deeper, and includes the configuration. Do you think my practice questions are just bad questions? Or should I review the 642 trainsignal video as well before sitting for the 640 exam?

I am schedule to take the exam Wednesday but I am now considering paying the $35 reschedule fee to buy myself some extra time to get stronger in DNS and CA.

Any advise is much appreciated.

The 642 does delve deeper into the entrails of DNS while the 640 kinda just refers to them. If your comfortable with AD, Certificate Services and the other topics on the 640, I'd say go for it. Thing is mate, if your not ready, delay the test. If something inside you tells you aint ready, then you aint ready. But the 642 covers DNS in way more detail than the 640.

Thanks. I feel confident, but nervous. I have never taken a cert exam before, and I really cant afford to fail. I am going to reschedule the exam to the following week. It will give me enough time to review and practice.

Make sure you check the reschedule information, as I think prometric will charge you if you reschedule too close to the exam date.
