70-680 Passed

So I passed my 70-680 today. After taking a few weeks off from studying I felt spontaneous and went ahead and scheduled the test today and took it. Just barely passed, but I guess that is all that matters. I initially started studying for the test about a year ago, starting with reading the first few chapters of the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-680): Configuring Microsoft Windows 7. I went along with the labs and did that. After that I pretty much took a break from it for about a year.

I came back and read the exam cram book, and did all the questions that came with it. Then I read some of the Poulton book but mostly focused on the chapter questions. I did a lot of test simulations from the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-680): Configuring Microsoft Windows 7 which I found to be quite helpful.

Aside from that I work with Windows 7 regularly. I also have a lab environment at home and work where I did a lot of Deployment and configuration setups.

I found the test to be pretty difficult, and wished I would have taken it about 3 weeks ago when things were a little more fresh. Just glad to moving on to the next thing, as I need to renew my CCNA before Jan.

    Was it easier or harder than getting your CCNA?

    Congrats by the way!

    Congrats!

    Did you end up taking the old version of the test (~50 questions), or the new version that I see people talking about all over the web (~85 questions with random SQL questions)?

    And I've also heard that this test is more difficult to go through than the CCNA exam. Having taken that, I can't see how this test would be more difficult personally. Can you speak to that?

    I'm taking the test next week, and am not really sure what to expect...

    I had the 50 question test.

    I wouldn't under estimate this test, but I would agree that the ccna is more difficult. Mostly because how much material it covers.

    Good luck!
