 Passed 70-297 I squeaked by with a 727 on my first attempt, which isn't bad since I didn't spend a lot of time studying. I just did 70-294 a few weeks ago, and I took a week or so off before jumping in for 297. I started studying with Transcender, and that's what I used for the majority of my prep time. About 1/3 of the questions were similar to topics from 294, so I didn't need to refresh my memory on those. Another 1/3 or so dealt with DNS and DHCP, which I deal with regularly at work, so I spent a few hours reviewing all the little things that I don't regularly have to worry about with those services. After that, the remaining questions dealt with migrating/restructuring older domains to fit a 2003 forest design. I used CBT Nuggets and read through the Syngress book for those. As far as the live exam goes, I had 6 testlets and 48 questions total. Testlets ranged from 5 to 12 questions, and the time allowed for each testlet worked out to about 3 minutes/question. The questions were fairly easy (generally), but the time pressures due to the testlet format did get to me early on. Next up: 70-293 to finish the MCSE | ||

Ugh, how did you get all out of order like that? 293 is not a fun one to end one   Oh well, congrats on the pass! __________________ The day you stop learning is the day you start becoming obsolete. WIP - CCNA:S | OSCP | OSWP | GPEN - 02/26/10 ETA | ||

congrats! I have mine tomorrow morning (exactly 24 hours from now!) and I'm really not prepared for it. Last one for MCSE 2003 too. I suspect I waited too long between this exam and 70-294, which I did somewhere around January. Motivation to study just isn't there! | ||

Contrats on the pass!  How long were you given per case studay? And did you have to complete each case study within that time before being forced to the next case study? I've got my exam next tuesday and it would be nice to know. | ||

If you run out of time on a case study, or if you end it early, that's it. You can't go back to those questions, and any time you had left over does not carry over to the next case study. | |||

woohoo, passed this morning with an 836! It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I never went anywhere near running out of time. I read the questions first, in order, and answered them as I got to them. Some did not need me to read the documentation provided though. Others I went through the info provided to find the correct response (for those that relate to network and business requirements). Being a relatively fast reader I didn't experience any trouble finding what I needed quickly. That finishes the MCSE 2003 for me! | ||
