So I passed my 70-640 today (Sydney-Australia time) with a 700.
Literally scrapped through by a nose.

I'll spare you all my rambling about how pleased I am that I got through the first time. I really needed this!!
Been reading the MS-Press book since October.
Watched every CBT Nuggets video in the series.
Countless notes taken and TechNet articles read.
Labs, and Labs, and Labs.
So much hard work.
The test was a very tough one. We've all read the horror stories.
Half way through I was ready to give up and accept defeat.
God musn't of been listening since I got all the questions I didn't want.
Funny enough my score card says I did better in some of those areas than the areas I thought I was ace at.
Who ever writes these tests really knows how to make a techie rack his brain.
Any way enough from me!
Good luck to those fellow 70-640 takers out there. Hope ya'll do well.
Next step for me will probably be the 70-642.
Heading over to Canada in September to live and work in Whistler for a few months.
Hopefully get some reading done during the freezing winter.
Cheers.
