70-640 - Second time around...

xkaijinx

Looking to retake the 70-640 exam - I took it about 4-5 months ago, and than became pretty busy when my new semester started. I am looking to use the below materials for study, please let me know if you have any tips/links/advice.

Studying with ExamCram
Labbing with MS Press
On the areas that I scored low on last exam, watching CBT Nuggets videos on those specific areas.
Practice Tests using: ExamCram, MSPress, and Transcender. I am going to purchase the 1 month option that they offer.

I am looking to study with the above tools for the duration of this month and try to sit for the exam on 8/31 or so.

Thanks

Anyone? Just looking to cross check my plan with someone that has passed..

It's been a while since I passed my test, but I'd always recommend supplementing your studies with TechNet. It's the most comprehensive resource out there, up-to-date and correct. MS Press is not going to be enough, that's for sure (I learnt that the hard way, twice). Good luck!

Good luck!

I agree with Essendon. You need to devote a solid amount of time reading and doing the labs available through Technet. The MS Press book misses out on a ton of material from command line, PowerShell, ADRMS, ADCS, and ADFS.

Good luck!

Do you have a link to the labs section of technet? I was able to find a few but they are so sporadically placed.
