I don't know what else I can really do. I took the test 6 months ago after about a week of studying and got a 530, which is to be expected. I had drastically underestimated the time it would take to prep for the thing, or how thorough it would be. I was using a MeasureUp practice test and was scoring well (95%+) on that, but MeasureUp exams are pretty rubbish compared to the real thing.
Round 2 was two weeks ago to the day, and I admittedly didn't get a great opportunity to study for it. Work/Life gets in the way and all. After one day of studying using a Transcender test (significantly better questions, in my opinion, though I have found some errors!) I pulled a 556. My weakest areas were Installing and Administrating Active Directory and Deploy and Configure Core Network Services. Understandable as my exposure to AD has been limited, and I didn't know much about IPv6 at the time. I probably dropped 3+ questions just because I didn't have familiarity with the protocol.
Which brings us to today... I prepped for more than enough time. I used the same Transcender test and scored a 96% on the ENTIRE question set (108 correct, 5 incorrect). In particular I looked up the relevant information about IPv6 that I was weak on (multicast addressing, private vs public vs link local) and was confident I'd do well.
636.
I know I dropped one question because I neglected to realize NIC teams had their own IP address assigned to them, which was a silly mistake. Aside from that I really don't know what else I can do. My weakest two areas remain the same, and the scores look similar across the board. What magic combination of practice tests, exam prep books, and technet articles do I need to pass this !
@#$ing thing? If I bomb it two more times then I can't take it for another year, and I am NOT willing to let that happen.
Help.
