Just Passed the 70-640

Just got back and I passed the 70-640 with and 820. I mainly used TrainSignal and the Microsoft Press books.

I was wondering how the 70-642 compares to the 70-40 in terms of difficulty? Also, I have been reading the the CBT Nuggets seem to cover the material better. What is everyone's opinion on TrainSignal vs CBT Nuggets?

I found 70-642 harder than 640 (the study) but is exam itself I found it easier but all in all I think they are almost equal in terms of difficulty. For me I used MS book and Sybex book and I got 950.

I'm sorry I can't give you an advice on TS vs Nuggets though

Congrats! I am also hoping to sit this exam in about two weeks. Without violating any rules, can you tells us what you thought about the exam? Were there any topics and/or questions that caught you off guard?

The 640 is heavy on DNS so study the 642 DNS chapters if you have time.

Done! Reading those extra chapters helped a lot. I am in the process of re-reading some of the 640 book, completing some additional labs and pounding the practice test questions. I am using the SelfTest questions this week. MeasureUp next week.

I am hoping to get my employer to purchase the Transcender practice questions for the 640, 642, 643 and 647. Supposedly, they have a little extra money left over for training that wasn't used during the last fiscal year. Cross your fingers!

I passed the 83-640 back in May and used the CBT Nuggets videos. I haven't used Trainsignal at all, but I know for a fact that I will never take another exam without studying with the CBT Nuggets videos. I am currently studying for the 70-642 exam and will sit for it on 11/1.

Cheekz - did you take the 70-640 or 83-630 exam?
