    Hey guys,

    Finally started studying again for my 70-291 last month and so Ive booked the exam for December the 14th. Been studying my ass off lately and hopefully I should pass it first time.

    Any tips or advice when studying for this exam?

    Thanks
    Kraven

    GL with the exam. As Sparky said, make sure you are up on WSUS. It's not one of the main topic areas of the exam but MS seems to chuck plenty of WSUS questions in.

    Try and make sure you have setup and played around with DNS and RRAS as much as possible as you may well get simulations on these areas and if you aren't sure of your stuff ...

    Hey guys,

    Passed the 70-291 this morning with a score of 920. Was a very boring exam as the questions were very long, but I finally got it finished.

    Now onto the 70-299 to get my MCSA!

    Testout, ExamCram, and a Server 2003/Client Lab for the preparation and for practice exams I used Transcender.

    Thanks for the info kraven, one last question so which of the above was of most usefulness was Transcender useful in terms of closeness to the actual exam coverage. Rep given for your help and assistance:)

    I would like to know as am in the process of ordering Transcender or MeasureUp for the 70-291. Thanks once a again for your response:)
