Default Passed the 70-291!
This test was the hardest Microsoft test I've taken so far. To those who are taking the test soon, study up on routing and remote access. If you are not familiar with this area, become familiar, because a co-worker of mine failed his 291 due to not being strong in this area, even though he was strong in all of the others. Good luck to those who have yet to take it!

Congrats on the pass, you're right it is one of the hardest ones on the list. What study material did you use?

Thanks! I glimpsed at the 291 tech notes here, as well as harnessed my systems admin experience from work. I should have studied RRAS more, as I would have found the test to be easier. I am undecided as to what I want to take next. Maybe the 284....

Congrats. That test is not an easy one. You are definitely correct about RRAS. A LOT of questions about that one. Congratulations, and good job.

Congrats!

I plan to sit this exam in the next month or two, I admit I'm having trouble getting motivated to study for this one. But I'm one exam away from MCSA so, I need to find some motivation!

Good luck with your next exam!

Congratulations, anyone taken the 299? How does it compare to the 291?

If you do 299 after 291 and 293, it's almost all review. It was one of the easier exams in the track by the time I got to it.
