in Windows Vista exams
So far I have downloaded a vista overview that seems to go over the basics I have read, aero, system requirements, difference between premium, basic etc. I have also bought the exam cram book that contains over 500 questions with detailed answers any really good books you guys reccomend?

    Thanks alot >.< also i noticed that you can only take microsoft exams with prometric and i noticed acredited colleges and the sort can be allowed as testing centers. can I assume that testing is the same as if i was to go to a pearson testing site, i.e. computers, monitored room etc? The reason i ask is because i was curious why the nearest prometric testing site near me is 70 miles away, and there is tons of pearson. I didnt know if prometric had some kind of standard or something.

    Prometric or Vue they are all independent centers so the quality may vary.

    Prometric has two centers near me and Vue is about 90 miles away.

    As for why MS only deals with Prometric. Who knows the exact politics as to why Vue or MS dropped the testing.

    I like the Mike Meyers Passport for the MCTS, and I also like transscender, i feel like they simulate the actual exam very well possibly a little tougher than the actual exam is. That is just my thoughts though... Good luck i'm headed for it this Saturday. Let us know how you make out...

    the MS PRESS book covers everything you need to know and its just not a guide on how to pass the exam it teaches you everything you need to know with great detail.

    Ditto-
    Although the Book is quite large it was the first resource that I used and the measure up question on the cd are good also.

    Um Yes, My co-worker just passed this test last week with just about 2 weeks of studying and got a 996, No B'D's, besides experience with vista he used my resources, Mike meyers passport, transcender, and some cbtt's. Basically from what I have seen and herad (from my coo-worker especailly) is that they really want you to know the new things in vista i.e ( uad, parental control, ready boost, backup and restore, win defender stuff like that so if you really study the "new " feastures you should do well on the test. Best of Luck...

    What do you do to fix problem x?

    a. Some utility also available in XP
    b. A new feature only in Vista
    c. Something that sounds right but is also in XP
    d. A possible solution also available in XP


    The correct solution will probably be B.

    620 was a breeze. Only took 55 minutes for mine.

    I passed and my version of the test was heavy on portable/mobile devices or it seemed that way. FWIW.... I hate tests.

    I used Transcender and MS Press and I have Vista installed on my laptop and main PC.

    Onwards to 70-622 and wireless#.
