FAIL 70-410 Today (FRUSTRATING_)

Hello all,

Sorry but I have to vent out how FRUSTRATING this exam is. I have already failed it again so now it's 3 times. What gets me upset is some of the questions I was so lost and the material I read didn't match up with the exam. To top is off some questions had way to many options to pick. I had to scroll down just to review all the options to pick!!!!!. Then I only got 5 powershell command in the whole exam. I got more GPO questions then anything.

I compared my test results on all 3 and it's all over the place. I do know that i need to work on the GPO stuff.

I been studying for the last 2 months and have been doing MeasureUP exam test. I was getting close the 80% for passing. None of the questions or somewhat similar questions showed up on the exam. I know they aren't suppose to give you the questions but i would think something close or similar. It really sucks and i'm disappointed in myself for not passing the exam. at least I have the 2nd chance. Im going to take at least 2 days off from studying then starting other book i have. At least I know what my weak points are again!

I'm really thinking of doing a boot camp for this exam. Don't know if that's a good idea or not. I guess all i could do is get up and brush myself off again! Going to keep using MeasureUP to practice, pluralsight for the video. Going to try using the MCSA 70-410 Cert guide from Pearson IT Cert. (Don Poulton, David Camardella) see how that book good since I bought it couple months back..

I took it 5 times this year. MS allowed me to take it a 6th time. Took it yesterday and got a 750. Basically I took the test 3 times and read and re read every question. Then eliminated the answers I was sure were wrong then tried to eliminate others. It worked but obviously not greatly. My lowest area was Core networking. Not 1 dam I learned how to convert from Hex to Decimal and subnet IPv6 ?'s. A bunch of DNS.

I did see a few questions I have seen before. Of course ones I had always forgot to recheck. The questions I did remember and had learned I did not see. Now I have a Voucher for another exam and I may try 70-411 before the 2nd shot offer ends. I hope it is less to cover.

Well we will see how my exam goes. I just need to focus more and study more.

If you fail this time, read the training guide and do the labs, read the panek book and try the boson tests. They worked for me but working on 2012 every day at work helped the most.

Why on earth do you have a 4 week time frame?

It's really 6 week timeframe to include 70-680, but I passed that last week (1.5 weeks studying).

There's a few openings within my consulting company that require IAT Level 2 w/ OS cert. I don't have the OS cert and I'm not on a contract right now so I'm basically bleeding my company money till I get the OS cert or they drop me.
