70-640

Just a quick intro post to say I'm currently studying for the 70-640 and found your site by virtue of the Google and signed up.

Training materials:

Official Microsoft exam book R2
CBT nugget videos
Labs (Home setup and work environment)
Time, lots of time.

So far I'm five chapters in, while not getting them 100% right, just powering through to get an overall feel, some parts I know, some I don't. Will do in-depth look on the second read through with lab time\practice exams then book the exam.

That's the plan anyway.

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like a good plan. This exam is pretty broad in material, so take your time. I read through 3 books for this one, more than once.

I just failed the test because I just focused on the book and cbt nuggets and felt it I was passing the practice exams and breezing through the labs then I was good. Trust me the exam goes into much greater detail then the book and the videos. I found this forum by google too and I now know that the book is not enough. Look up the 640 sticky here, it has some good resources. I'll be jumping back on the horse soon

Spend lots of time on technet, the official book is not enough.

Yup. I am not a big fan of books since they tend to overload you with info and always take a **** load of pages just to explain a simple concept. The same goes for CCNA.

Good luck on your studies. It looks like you are using the right materials to help you pass this exam. I would only recommend using Technet as well. I used Technet while studying, and then when I would take a practice test, I would look up the information on the questions I was having trouble with on Technet. I do believe it helped me pass.

Started using Technet as well, found it to be more precise and indepth then the book so that's a plus.
