Is there much difference in the difficulty between 70-291 and 70-293?

    What the topic says really, I passed my 70-291 with a score of 880 (resit) and have been studying for the 70-293 with hopes of taking it in the next week or two.

    I can't seem to guage much more studying I need. I have a good grasp of pretty much all the topics and was wondering how others have found one exam to the next?

    I think now is a good time then to start using a test prep like MeasureUp or Transcender. They would both give you a rough idea if your ready and what structure of exam is like.

    Best wishes and lets know how you get on.

    Sorry mate - I've done neither.
    But if there wasn't a difference, it would be the same exam!

    Roach,

    After a quick look at the objectives, it looks like the 291 covers the theory behind networking, compared to Planning it for an environment in 293.

    Good luck!

    Cheers guys, what I was wondering was if there a step up or down in difficulty level as I failed 70-291 the first time by 20 points then had to study like mad for another 4 weeks before I felt I was ready to resit it.

    I know I have already covered all the course objectives and all the knowledge from the last exam is still kicking about in my head as a backup.

    This time round though I wanna make sure I am fully prepared to pass 1st time and I don't know if I am ready or not yet.

    I have the transcenders and will be going through them before the actual exam. Actually to date I have never managed to pass a transcender exam but I find them much harder than the exams themselves.
