Glad to say I finally sat & passed my 70-680 yesterday

I only got 50 points over the pass mark but I'm told a pass is a pass :/

Couldn't tell how long I have spent studying for this, as I got the books probably a year ago but didn't get my act together and consistently study for it until recent months

Resources used:
MS Press Book
Pearson Exam Cram
Sybex MCTS Microsoft Windows 7 Configuration

Professor Messer's videos

Practice questions on the above books and also a 30 day subscription to MeasureUp


My advice to anyone waiting to sit the exam: Lab, lab, lab! to make sure you know your stuff... oh and this may differ for the more experienced but use multiple sources to get your study info. Despite having 3 books to refer to, when doing the practice exams I still found I was been asked on whole chunks of information that weren't in any of my 3 books and needed looking up on Technet/Google

Now for a day or 2 off and then to crack on with 70-685 and a better understanding of how prepared I need to be

Congrats on the pass! Good feeling, isn't it?

A good job well done... Thanks for the study-material info.

Onwards and upwards as they say, and good luck with the 685 study

 

Congratulations on passing (:

And yes a pass is a pass, that's all that matters to get the qualification.

 

Congrats on the pass

 

Well done congratulations

 

Thanks all

I'm now suddenly surprised how little books and commercial training materials there are for the 685 compared to the 680. This next one could be tough

 

865 was tough a lot of information. If I remember I will dig out what I used.

 

Congrats

 

Congrats on the pass

 

Nice one

 

Congrats on the pass and all the best with the 685.

 

Congrats on the pass!
