Passed 298, now a MCSE

willhi1979

I passed my 70-298 with a 737 today. I scored a couple questions short of strong in all the sections but Creating the Conceptual Design for Network Infrastructure Security by Gathering and Analyzing Business and Technical Requirements. I scored a little above Needs Improvement there. It was weird that I did bad in that one area, but I did very well on the others.

I used the MSPress books for the 680, 290, 291, 293, 294, and 299. I also used CBTNuggets for the 290, 291, 293, 294, and 299. I used the Sybex book for the 298. I also used practice tests from Ucertify for the 293, 294, 298, and 299 and Transcenders for the 290 and 291. I also used the measureup tests in the MSPress books. I also set up a home lab consisting of 2 DCs and a client and did most of the exercises in the book. I also used some of the practice tests on proprofs.com, technet, *********, the MegaGuides from Preplogic, and other peoples study notes from the forum here.

Congratulations, on both passing the exam and your new status as MCSE. Looks like you've had a very good year in certs.

Yeah, CONGRATS on the pass and the cert! Looks like it's been a fast ( time wise, lol ) year for you to get all of those done. Good luck on the upgrade.

Thanks I studied a hour or two at night and hit it some on the weekends. I also spent time early in each book labbing as I went along.

how many pages would you read in this hour or two; just curious?

I'm not sure pages. I usually got through a chapter or so in a hour. I've been working with Windows and computers for 8 years full time, and I have a Batchelors in Computer Science.
