Seriously, take deep breaths and do your best.

Good Luck!

Best of luck to you! I have the 70-290 exam booked Saturday, I'm hoping I can pull it off!

I passed it today on my second shot; 6 days after I failed it. My advice at this point is a good nights sleep and go in there with a clear, relaxed head. Be prepared to analyze the problems. I did this and I was able to solve some that didn't make sense at first.

Keep in mind, this is a "management" course.

Good Luck!

Thanks for encouragement guys! I've been literally studying all day for this. I hope I get it on the first try. If not, I always have the second shot that I can use

Good luck mate, take your time and read the questions thoroughly. You will be right!

Let us know how you go

My exam starts in 2 hours. I'm feeling much more confident than before. I believe that I'll be MCSA in few hours!

I'm actually nervous for the big guy!

Just got back from taking the 291. I just barely slipped by with a 700!! My test was 75% 70-291, and 25% 70-290

. There were some topics on the exam that were not in the 291 MS Press book.

Thanks to everybody that gave me encouragement. I don't know if I could've got my MCSA without TechExams. Thanks to Dynamik with helping me with Stub Zones and Conditional Forwarders.

I am wondering what I should do now. Should I move on to 293 or should I go after the Linux+ ? Linux is used alot in my job, so I feel that it'd help me. At the same time, I've heard that the 291 and 293 have a lot of overlap.

Welcome to the 700 club

There is a lot of overlap with 291 and 293. You can never go wrong with studying what you use at work though. Your choice, good luck!

Congratulations. Personally I'd go for 293, 291 does slot neatly into the learning curve for 293 and it might fill in a few of the blanks. Just out of interest what's making you plump for Linux+ over any of the other Linux certs?

DanielHughes

Great stuff Jizay! Well done

Hurrah! Well done Mr. MCSA.

I plan on taking/passing mine by the end of this month. Good luck in your future studies!

Thanks guys! Elaverick, to be honest, I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to Linux. That goes for the operating systems and the cert exams. I don't know what's the best exam to take as far as Linux goes. Any suggestions?

gravyjoe

Good job. You can finally put that on your resume now. Congratulations!

Congrats. 700 is more than enough to get that big weight off your back.

amp2030

Congrats!

Good work dude!!

The wicked beast is dead!

bencairney

Congrats.

Thanks everybody! I see a few people on this post that are close to taking the 291 also. Good luck to you all!

Congrats Big Jazay!

Your notes were great! I used them to study the night before the exam. I especially liked how your notes had a lot of the stats and commands that you have to memorize for the test. Actually, I hope you'll make notes for the 70-293 one day

Thanks!!

Thanks, I have a feeling I'm going to need it. There's a **** load of information to learn!

Aquageek, it is a LOT of information to learn for this exam, no doubt about it. The only way to pass this test is to study hard. The test is beatable. As long as you know when and how to implement something, and memorize the main commands (example: netdiag, netsh, dnscmd, etc), you should be fine. Confidence counts for a lot also.

I'm glad to hear that they were of use! Of course, ill do the 293 notes when i have passed the 291 exam

There is only a few differences between 291 and 293 anyway, so it wont take me long to adjust it and add the extra info.

The 294 on the otherhand is way different and will take me a while probably.

I will do one last revision before i do the 293 exam though, and request the site admin to add it to the website

cheers.

I'm sorry but I don't see 70-291 technotes, where are they located?

Wedge and I were talking about these notes:
http://www.techexams.net/forums/70-291-windows-2003-network-infrastructure/39903-what-do-you-think.html

The notes are pretty good. Wedge made a second draft of it, but it doesn't seem to be working on RapidShare. The first draft is still pretty good though.

Whoa, awesome! Nice job on the notes Wedge! Man, if I wasn't so lazy I'd make one of these myself for every exam as just the process alone of making it would help me retain a lot more than I do. Thanks for the reference link BigJ!

Thanks for the notes Wedge, and the pointer BJ. Hah.

I'm in the process of going through the book for the second time and making notes. Next I'll go through it again and make a study guide.

Gen, when do you think you'll sit the exam?
