This is a tough exam but managed to squeeze through a pass, was touch and go through the exam as there were quite a few tough questions, wasn't sure if I had done enough to pass but thankfully all my hours and hours of study paid off, took 6mths but I am now MSCA Windows 8.1!!!

My studies consisted of:-

Transender practice exams (Loads harder than both exams)
MS Offical Exam Ref - 70-688 (Used mostly as a guideline to drill further into each objective which was done on Technet)
Loads of on the bench practice
MS Virtual Academy & MS Virtual labs

The hardest hurdle I had was the Intune material, I came into these exams when Intune had a huge face lift and indeed re-structure, all meant study material was obsolete and had to do a lot of looking around for correct versions of stuff, if I am honest I thought I was wholly unprepared for this side of the exam, but thankfully the bits I did focus paid off.

Need to focus on the family a little now as I think they have forgotten what I look like

Hope the above helps even thou this exam retires this November.

 

Nice one. I have 70-688 exam booked on 30th Oct and can study full time for the four weeks and I am hoping it is enough time considering the Intune changes. I have a full subscription to Pluralsight and CBT Nuggets and have the green Exam Ref book and MOAC Labs book. I am hoping this is enough to get me through the exam. Sort of at a crossroads at moment of whether to stick on 70-687 and move onto Windows 10 at an easier pace or try to cram in study for 70-688. I am in US for 12 days mid November so if I failed the exam on 30th Oct I would be able to take another shot at end Nov.

With the study material and resources I have (also I have lab environment both physical and Virtual connected NWs) I am hoping that 40 days study will be enough.

 

Nice one mate, must have been a tough exam to self-study, congratulations!

 

Thanks, was pretty tough yes, alot to learn but I do alot of this on the job so made it a little easier.

 

Congrats on the pass!
