Amount of time studying: 12 hours over this weekend (since getting this voucher), however I've been on and off studying for this exam for 4 months, since we've implemented it in a live environment.

Personal thoughts:

The exam questions provided by Measure-up were definately harder than the real exam. Compared to other Windows 2008 exams, this one was by far the easiest imo. However you do have to know the ins & outs of the system, plus:

Thanks mate Na once I got the voucher it didn't take to long, however if you consider how long in total I've been studying for it, then it's just taken above average time frame (approx 4 months). I was actually going to do this exam in the new year after the Management certs, however as I got the free voucher, just wanted to get it out of the way.

Congrats Mr Wagner!

 

Thanks guys

Well, I can't give you my experience or the book/CD that I used as we're still using that (we're, Modey & myself, are considering the SCVMM exam and the book covers that also). Neither the ebook, however if you do a search on here, I posted about e-book offers from MS (it's in one of those months) it may be still available.

You can take a look at the Virtualsation thread here, plus if you see here we already posted 2 free collections from Microsoft to help with these exams.

Just wondering why are you doing it then? Hyper-V is only on Windows 2008.

Just ordered my first MS cert, costs $9.95 (so about £6.13) plus, I believe, £1 or £1.50 bank charge for international purchases. Also just downloaded all my certs from the old MCP/MCSE track to the new MCTS/MCITP track, they just ain't the same...

Change of plans, might take this exam next as I'm not sure if voucher will expire I just went to watch more of the free video's in My Learning on the MS site and they have expired! I did watch 2 of them lucky enough but I'm thinking as its free maybe I should do it soonish. Can anyone advise me on this please? Thanks, Jim

**Edit: Just checked and the "Understanding Microsoft Virtualization Solutions" eBook is still free in MS Learning

 

I passed too, 890 so over the moon with that high score. Easiest exam to date and for anyone thinking of doing this, you can pass it using Hyper-V in a lab. I haven't touched it in production.

Ken's was 180 minutes but I had 47 Questions in 90 minutes for some reason! Sadly no sims in this one.

I never know what to say without breaking the NDA when I pass exams so that is all

Thanks mate, aren't you sitting this one? It was free you'd fly through it.
