Passed 70-680 today

Woot !

With just over 800, it was a bit lower then i had hoped, but i can't really complain .

Strongest portions were deployment, Mobile Computing, Backup,Recovery, Networking, Weakest were Hardware and Apps, and Monitoring

(The hardware apps questions were not particularly hard, so i dont really know what happened there)

Resources used were
MS Press Book
Practice questions from Self Test Software IT Certification Test Prep Products - Practice Tests and More
Iphone app from MeasureUp (while watching TV, during commercials mostly

)
As well as labs and some technet resources presented on these forums.
Study time was about 6 weeks .

Now.. on to the next

Thanks !
Up next is probably 685
I want to go for AE , but i think that may be a bit a head in the future

If anyone around these parts took the 685 , i would love to know how they found it to be, compared to 680

congrats on the great score!

EDIT: Welcome to TE! Didn't realize you were new.
You may have been hoping for a higher score but I know of a lot of people recently who would think your score was fantastic. That test has kicked quite a few a%%es lately.

I honestly did not find it amazingly hard, i guess i would place the difficulty somewhere between the MS Press difficulty and Self Test Software IT Certification Test Prep Products - Practice Tests and More difficulty. I guess i could have been lucky but i for example had zero IPV6 questions and maybe one applocker question . If you know your way around the OS, and have a good grasp of the exam objectives, it's really not too horrendous . I am currently an admin for a small company and we don't use Win 7 as of yet, so almost all of my hands on experience was from labs and messing around at home.

I thought the measureup app was quite good
155 questions, study and cert mode as well
The Kaplan questions were really quite good, and very challenging , i really thought they were excellent.
And the book questions, i guess those are there to make sure you did not fall asleep while reading certain chapters

I bought for iPhone and is good
