Certifications: A+, MCSA(SECURITY), MCITP, MCTS, SEC+, CISA(2006), ITILv3 Foundation, WIP(RHCE,CHFI & CISM) | Just Passed the beast in my 1st attempt few minutes ago after several months of scheduling and re-scheduling.
I was really scared of the exam 70-291
I scored 700!!!
Am really happy for this, because am sure i did not join those who cheat themselves by using all stuff of cheating materials. and this reveal to me where i need to improve myself despite the passing.
Materials used: CBT Nuggets, MS Press and VTC - Preparing for MS 70-291 by Brian Culp.
To be candid, i have bee using CBT Nuggets for most of my past exams, but for this 70-291, the use of VTC, put back into me the courage to sit for the exam, it more clearly explain than the one am used to.
for other exams i still wish to continue the use of my CBT products.
I hope to give more details on how it went later.
Cheers all. I really appreciate you all for various contributions on this site.
Keep it Up!!

Certifications: AAS in Computer Networking, MCSE 2003, Network+, Security+, A+ | I'm not really surprised by the results. I'm convinced "the beast" is mostly hype....the other MCSE exams (293, 294, 297/298 ). IMHO are the real "beasts"

Certifications: AAS in CIS, A+, Network+, Security+, MCSA:2003, 70-293 | Wow. Everyone is possibly not posting if they had to take the beast more than once or something. I'm not scared. I took the beast 3 times. I actually tried this exam the first time before I new of the "label" of this exam. I took it once and got a 670 something. I tried it again the next day, and failed again with a 650 something. I decided to take the 70-290 exam before I tried the beast again. It worked. Once I had some experience with server 2003, I nailed the beast.
