    Yup... he is confident and knows his stuff. If I get anywhere near 840 when I take my 290, I'll be a happy chappy.

    I just passed the 70-290 with 960. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I was too nervous to try another transcender last night, and then continued feeling nervous right through the exam.

    When I got in the exam I managed to stay focussed and tried not to read too much into the questions (eg looking for double meanings). When I got to the end of the exam I didn't bother reviewing my answers and just clicked finish (I felt too nervous to effectively evaluate or review my answers)

    For anyone who wants to know, I used CBT Nuggets and the Sybex book (both seemed to be out of date). I also had a virtual environment running under VM Ware - I had a Win 2003 DC, Terminal Server, WSUS Server and an XP client to test things out.

    I did my studying in the following order - CBT Nuggets, Sybex Book/testing things out under VMware, then I did two transcender exams and identified my week areas. I then used my virtual environment and a few chapters from the ExamCram book to brush up on my weaker areas.

    Now on to the beast that is 291 :)
