70-290 passed!!!

Protokon · **Post subject:** 70-290 passed!!! **Posted:** Thu Feb 08, 2007 4:20 pm

I just got back from the testing center and passed with a score of 957. Quite frankly I was amazed with the score as I was only scoring around 70% avg. with Transcenders. As I was taking the test I was sure I was failing and I had to guess for quite a few questions.

Took me about an hour and a half..

lots of simulation questions, so know your ADUC, Backup strategies, and NTFS/Share perms like the back of your hand.

I studied for about a month with the following materials:
MS PRESS book
Transcender
CBT Nuggets
this website + technet

Whoever has the exam scheduled soon I hope your next to post a success! Good luck and hang in there!!!

on to the beast now!!

Also a question for the community. I read somewhere that you can use your MCSA as your MCSE elective is this true? thanks.

Congrats!

I passed a few weeks ago with a score in the 900's too which surprised me because I was scoring between 660 to 690 range on the transcenders as well. Now on to the 70-291! Very Happy

Congrats for passing.

Regarding the scores, bear in mind that when one takes the exam, the engine selects questions from a pool of questions, and it's an adaptive kind of exam. There's more than a thousand ways that one can get a set of questions.

I am taking the 70-290 test on Tuesday. I have been averaging about 93% on the transcender "Preset Exams" and I am a little nervous about the actual test. I haven't taken an exam in a couple of years. Did anyone get questions about server access licensing? I hope I can make a post that I passed next week....PEACE
