Passed 70-410! Just...

wallpaper_01

I got 730. The pass mark is 700. I failed the beginning of December with 683.

I studied for one month before the first time and got 683 then studied a further 2 months and got 730... I found the test really hard, even harder second time. I used Trainsignal videos and MCSA study guide.

Funny thing was, I felt totally fine and labbed loads, understood everything. I think its the style of question that throws me off. I worked out the first 2 lines mean nothing in the context of the question. My reaction answers felt right but the more I read the question the more I doubted. Found the Cisco exams so much easier. Yet I feel like I know Windows Server even better than I understood Cisco...

Strange, anyway, going to give myself a month and a half to study for 70-411, guess I need to get R2 now too.

Any ideas on study style for the next exam? I feel like I could be studying wrong for these exams... The trainsignal videos were very basic, is CBT nuggets better? Will I also need to buy a new book now, or should I just self study the extras for R2 using technet or something?

Thanks!

It seems an interesting trend that the second exam is not the same level of questions as the first (based on threads here).

Anyway, congrats on passing attempt #2.

Maybe, it seemed like they were harder. I feel like I should have blitzed it, with a further 2 months of study but it wasnt the case...

Thanks!

Yea those Trainsignal videos are pretty dry. I would try the CBT Nuggets. They helped me get past the 411.
