I recently failed the exam. Some areas I wish I focused more on would be Server Storage, Powershell commands, file vs sharing permissions. Good luck!

Really I just do as many practice exams I can and brush up on anything that might still be confusing to me.

The 410 is definitely a beast but I (barely) passed with a 700. I'm working on the 411 now and taking it in December.

Good luck1!

I tend to do a quick review of Powershell a few days before and do a practice test the day before. The day of I try to just skim stuff. At that point I figure I know what I know and cramming is not going to do me much good.

Let me tell you that measureup test is ugly but good!!!! I thought i was ready but dam i got 33% i was shocked about that. Then i did the test again and got a higher score. My exam is next week so i have a about 1 to study some more and do the exam. All next week i'm planning to take at least 2 exam a day at work or home. I guess i could go over some other material i have but i notice in the practice exam there were some powershells i haven't tired. This weekend I plan to study a lot hopefully i could get at least 5+ hours.

So any advice i would give you is stay positive... any other advice anyone has let us know.

Yea im getting high 70s and 80s on measureUP.. my weakest area i think is GPOs. The practice test wants u to get at least an 80% to pass.. but the real exam is 70%

My lowest categories were 2.1, 4.3, 4.1

Now do you remember did you get a lot of powershell questions? What section do you think they asked you more about?

Just trying to get an idea of what kind of questions might come up. have a couple days, and I'm starting to get very nervous about the exam.

So do you think that measureUP helped you out with some of the questions they asked?
