RE: 70-291 - Help



I am in the same situation you are. I have writen 70-291 2 times and I have
used many training guides except for the SYBEX one.

Before the year is over (4 more days) I plan to give it a try again,

hope this bring you some hope.

Don't know where to start but I figure where better to get advice than this

I won't go into too much details of all my certifications but will say I
have done my fair share from various Novell CNE's, MCNE, CCNA, CCNP, CCDA,
CCDP and MCSE+I on NT4

I have written XP as well as Exam 70-290 which I will admit I had to write
twice for 70-290 only because it has been about 4 years since I wrote my last
exam and was totally blown away that simulations were now part of the exams
but will admit at the same time "about time" nice to see these a part of MS
certification process.

However I don't seem to have any luck with this 70-291 exam, I have written
twice already and only because the person I worked with gave all that he
studied from and passed (so he says) which were a bunch of practice questions
with explanations from various vendors only to fail with a 679 even though I
nailed the sims.

When I researched the exam objectives for 70-291 after seeing what I did
poorly on I noticed that I didn't have any practice questions for two of the
sections which were "Implemement, Manage and Maintain Routing and Remote
Access" and "Implemement, Manage and Maintain Name Resolution" (hence so he
says).

So I ended up going out and buying MS Trainig Kit and studied like crazy
especially on the two sections I did really poorly on while still going over
what I did well on only to fail again with the same two sections being my
weak point. Again I have no problems with the simulations. Second score was
even worse than the first one with a 636.

So what I am asking for is what other practice questions are out there other
than Transcenders and MeasureUp that I can use to help me pass this?
UCertify, Pass4Sure, Actual Tests, TestOut, Certkiller? I hope none of these
are braindums and if they are am sorry to mention them on this board.

Note: I was again surprised to see that now WSUS was on the exam which I
totally didn't know was going to be the case but even checking on MS Exam
objective, it isn't listed there which I also didn't see before writting the
second time. I ended up printing out a few sections from microsoft.com but
not sure if this is good or enough.

I realize now that I need to prepare myself a lot more i.e. search google to
see what is new on the exam,etc... before writting but right now I don't feel
like I can make it...it is a big blow to my morale...

An even bigger blow is that my local big box retail chain book store doesn't
even have any books on this exam.

Any help from this forum would be would be greatly appreciated as I can't
seem to find the right answer's with other hits I have found via google.


Kind Regards;

Mr. Hopeful
