    I agree that you should always try to be the best at what you do, and 100% on every exam is certainly a fine goal... but it's not very realistic. I only have *1* perfect score out of 55 passed exams, and I *teach* people how to get certified. Just wait until you get a question that has two correct answers... but only one is correct in the exam vendor's eyes.

    My point exactly. ;) You'd think I'd be able to ace the A+ exam, but I proudly state that I did NOT! 8)

    Waitasec, I didn't read this part of his post...

    Karl, what did you use to study?
    EDIT: nevermind, he mentioned that in the post.

    So you are saying that it only took you 15 mins to actually get the 1000 too? I find that very hard to believe unless you are being a bit optimistic with the time....It would take longer than 15 mins to read the questions....but fairs fair - I have to take my hat off to a great score.

    Exam Cram is what I also used, and it helped me reach a 949 in 271, so they must be pretty darn effective books. Funnily enough, I didnt actually think they were all that in hindsight, but I have heard nothing but good things about them since.

    I am due to take the 272 next, and done some transcenders, passing all of them with upwards of 80%, so I think I might just book it and take it as soon as I am fit again (slipped disc at moment).....I have ordered the Exam Cram book for this exam too, but feel I may not need it going on my Transcender scores....what do u guys think?

    15 mins? I don’t think so.

    1000? Maybe, but your claim of ’15 mins’ does put an element of doubt over that score.

    Congrats on the pass though :biggrin

    Yes 15 mins is very quick for a 50 question exam, but this exam i haven't sat and the questions are probably not long and drawn out like some of exams i have sat. Please give the OP the benefit of the doubt, according to the info he has already posted his study materials and methods were legit. That's good enough for me.
