I just want to thank everyone in this forum. I am a new member here, but I have been crawling this forum for quite a while. I found tons of helpful information that helped me prepare. Resources, study techniques, and opinions.
I have been working, slowly, towards this cert since about Oct. Then I realized the switch to the R2 exam was happening in Jan. so that lit a fire under me and I went ahead and scheduled. Failed first attempt 12/31 (647), second 1/6 (845)!!
I have (had) zero server experience. I was familiar with terms, but that was about it. I began with eval copies and using virtualbox. Then I ran into the issue of virtualizing while virtualized..... So, I dual booted 2012 on physical box and created environment via Hyper-V. Just the hands on "this isn't working, how do I resolve it" situations gave me tons of exposure to the hows and whys. I would attempt to recreate any and allow questions and examples pertaining to 2012 I could get my hands on. I also read Exam Ref 70-410, watched pluralsight, and MVA videos.
Now on to 411. I suppose I will wait till after the R2 update and cover all the additions before I attempt. Thanks again folks.

Congrats! Seeing as you took it today and there is still no R2 material on the exam, then it may be safe to say it will not be added until the 31st. When MS decoms the old exams.Next Goal: Office 365 70-346 (Scheduled for 9/25) -
