My strong areas between the two exams switched though and I did better today on the weak areas from last time and vice versa.

An former professor of mine was trying to tell me that the worst is over, but I have to disagree. I think I'd take infrastructure any day over AD replication.

The questions also seemed more complex, and you had to get a good grasp of how the AD environment was setup in each question to be able to figure it out.
