Yup I passed the 70-290 exam today. It was the first try 🙂 I was pissed cause I thought I failed it. Then I looked up after waiting on the computer to catch up after processing the exam and it said I passed. Sweet

Goin for the 70-270 Tomorrow.


EDIT: 2/21/07 - I Passed the 70-290 with a perfect score 1000/1000 in 15 minutes lol I walked in took the test and walked out lol.
On Saturday I'm going for the 70-291 🙂
 
Congrats! It's a long exam.

I passed the 290 just last week. The 270 should be OK if you did the 290, though I actually got a lower mark for it! I'd say read the course amterials through a couple of times + make notes of all the bits you're not 100% on, then just keep working at those past papers and example questions. They help more as they highlight tricky areas you might not have considered before.

I hated the simulations in the 290. Apparantly the 291 is the mega-nightmare that people tend to fail.
TBH I'm only working towards the MCSA at the mo... is it a few more exams on top to get the MCSE?
 
The 270 wasn't too bad, although the questions took a bit different of a slant that I imagined they would. I have voucher codes to take two more Microsoft tests before June, but I haven't decided what those will be yet.
 
Thanks Hjo3. It was 1 am before I posted it and wasn't thinking. I'll correct it later.

290 is on Managing and maintaining a Windows 2003 Server
270 is on XP

I think I'll do ok on the XP exam, I'm not looking forward to 291 Windows 2003 Infrastructure
 
So, exactly how difficult was the 70-290 exam?

How did you go about preparing for it?

What is your real world experience like?

 
To tell you the truth I didn't think I passed. lol

My company said they wanted me to have it so they sent me to a bootcamp. I figured it's not too bad as long as I come out of it with two things. 1. my certs 2. more knowledge than when I came in with.

About 50% of it, I had seen before through everyday IT scenerios. The other 50% I've never seen before and had to study like crazy. 🙂
 
No it wasn't lol

I'll fix the title later (something's wierd with IE so I can't have popups, lol no it's not a pop up blocker) I'll fix it when I get back to the room. It was late.
 
I'm planning on getting my MCSA:Security cert and then the MCSE:Security cert. I've already taken the 70-270 for my MCP (it was easy I got a 984/1000).

I'll be taking the following tests in this order: 70-290, 70-291, 70-227, 70-299, 70-298, 70-293, 70-294.

That way, when I finish 70-299, I'll have my MCSA:Security, and when I finish 70-294, I'll have my MCSE:Security. I'll be taking a test every two months, and I plan to take the 70-290 at the end of April.

My employer will pay for the exams, and they already provide online training courses.
 
I haven't taken a certification exam since I got my MCSE in NT 4.0. I think i'll update for Longhorn server, or whatnot.

Do they still have websites with all the answers to the tests? braindumps is what I believe they were called.
