Passed 70-685

Hey all,

After little more than a month I was able to finish the 70-685.
I took advantage of the holiday period that was quiet at the job to go through the CBT videos and the official Microsoft book.

Found it way easier than the 70-680, but be careful as I dont think the resources available are enough, there are a lot of aspects mentioned on the book that is little more than a paragraph and in the exam it goes way into detail.
Good thing I have been working in Service desk for a couple of years now, so troubleshooting is really part of the job.
Without going into detail, also found this exam to be a more "practical" than the 70-680.

Next steps: not sure, I have a voucher for the 74-409 but I think my employer needs a 74-325 to maintain the MPN status, we will see how it goes.

Congrats on the pass! I had the same experience of 70-685, it was much easier than 70-680 but others here have not felt the same way...

Good luck with your next endeavour!

It's a shame that it seems like everybody on this forum got to an event before me and it ruined my existence. I looked over the course requirements at Microsoft.com and it seems like the test was difficult. I'm glad anybody could pass a hard test.

Congrads on the pass.

What study material helped or hurt?

I am about a few weeks from sitting the exam and still fell like it's going to chew me up and spit me out. lol

Writing this on Thursday, studying as we speak. Congratulations, glad to hear it was easier than the 70-680. As I study the material that has been my experience so far as well so it's good to hear some confirmation.

Of course there wasnt a resource that hurt, but comparing to the 70-680, I think theres less theory/study and more "experience" needed.
Good luck to your own.

After the 70-680, I'm not taking anything lightly.

Thanks
