    I went into this exam and it was like I had never heard of Windows before. I studied my butt off and came out with a 560. Hadn't even seen some of the stuff on that exam before. Not going to make the same mistake I did last time by waiting a year. Already have it scheduled again for next week. Gonna get this thing done. Will keep you updated.

    Good luck partner! Focus on your weak points and you should be fine.

    A coworker of mine recently took the exam and scored a 300 something. He was so discouraged I think he dropped the idea of even taking it. So I think a 500+ is actually a solid score.

    Keep us posted on your success!

    What was your score the first time around? Did your score improve , when compared to the second time you took the test? What are your weak areas? I’m going on a year studying for this test, it’s definitely not easy. I’m going to take it in May of this year.

    I don't blame him, that score would bring me down too!!

    OP, what resources did you use to study? I am curious about the topics (not actual questions) that the test covered that you haven't seen before.

    This is what I'm so nervous about. I feel confident in my knowledge of the material, and I use the stuff I learn every day at work, but I'm worried that the test may be nothing like I am expecting it to be. That's why I keep pushing it back.

    Mah Bahls did you do a lot of practice questions? Right now I'm trying to read and do as many practice questions as I can just so I can be prepared. This is my first MS test, have you taken any other MS tests before?

    Being nervous is natural, but focus on your previous successes and overcome this. Good luck on your retake and sorry to hear about your no-pass.

    I found that chewing gum helped calm my nerves down a lot.
