Passed with 945.

My highest score so far. I had 5 sims and a few drag and drops. This test was a lot easier than the Transcender practice tests. The carry-over material from 70-291 also seemed to be present in a very simplified fashion. A fair amount of PKI and Clustering, so I'd advise spending the most time on those areas. Anyway, if you can get above 70% on the Transcender tests on your FIRST tries, you are golden.

Next up: 70-294!

I noticed that too! I going to buy it, especially since Transcender dropped 50 bucks off of the original price.

I took my 1st Transcender practice exam this weekend and got a 64%, getting closer. Thing is, there were a couple of DFS questions and some AD Design questions on it, neither of which were covered in my 293 study materials.

Did you see any of this?

I was getting in the 80% range on the Transcenders before getting my 628 on the exam. I am now getting in the upper 90% range, but its because I have most of the answers on the Transcender memorized, so now I am focusing on being able to explain to myself why the correct answer is correct and why in the incorrect answers are incorrect. I am also doubling up on NLB and PKI with a couple VM's I have setup. I've been out of town for about a week, so I plan to hit it this week/weekend and take the exam again sometime next week and hopefully get enough to take me over the top.

That's why we always stress using multiple resources. You'll always come across something new when you add another one (although there are obviously diminishing returns). I usually get exposed to a lot of new material via Transcender (mostly because my mind wanders while reading the book or watching CBTs -- I really have to focus on it with practice exams).

Granted but the AD design questions are on the 70-294 exam & I don't see DFS anywhere on the MS 70-293 exam site.

Just wondering why it's there I guess.
