PASSED the 70-290!!!

Wow, what a fun exam! I was quite worried about this one as I didn't get a chance to really study as much as I have for past exams but in the end, it was enough. Scored an 820 which is my highest score on an MS exam to date and honestly, I would agree with the other recent 'Pass' posters that this exam is far easier than practice exams, from whatever source! All I had were the Sybex & TE practice exams and those were FAR more difficult.

If you're still studying for this one, go ahead and schedule your exam asap cuz with 2nd Shot available, you've got little to lose and a whole lot to gain.

Cheers and finally, on to "The BEAST'....

Congrats on the pass. Good luck with the 291 - it's a definite 'step-up' from the 290 but manageable if you put the time and lab work in and not THAT scary

Congrats! The 70-290 was also easier to me than what I thought it would be. Welcome to the 70-291 club!

I agree. The 70-290 was not difficult compared to the other Microsoft exams.

Yes. I feel that the 290 is more clear and straight to the point. 270 seemed more tricky to me. Most people on Techexams who've taken 270 and 290 would agree that the 290 is easier.

A little late but congratulations GenX!

Thanks all! I decided to take a week long break from studying in order to ramp up for the Beast. Having a CCNA I'm not too intimidated by it but I know there will still be a lot to learn.

For now though... Sleep.... |-)

Congrats there. I know you were studying hard and trying your best.

I've been studying all week for 4 or 5 hours a day (haven't worked on 2003 at all during my old job) and so I'm hoping some of your luck will rub off on me for Monday.
