Passed 291!
Got a score of 763. With everyone saying how hard the exam is I'm so happy to have passed first time.

I took the course covering 291 and I revised the past two weeks from the MS Press books and CBT Nuggets. I tried to concentrate on DNS and RRAS as thats what I struggled most on when I tried a mock exam.

The exam felt like it focused on DNS mostly. The WSUS questions were pretty easy having had the job of setting it up at work.

I actually ended up with RRAS as being my strongest subject with a full bar.

Now I just need that pay rise

edit: Doh! Forgot to say. Also means I'm now a MCSA. Yay!

Congrats on the pass!
