Well im retaking my test on thursday, a lil bit nervous about it, i aim to pass it this time.

Also it got dropped on us that we have been put in for the 70-640 in may, which is the MCTS "Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory" exam

Fun times ahead...

Best of luck to you, jazman.

Well, i got 50 questions this time and it seemed a lot easier, unfortunately still failed (not happy) got 647. Will deffo get it next time. Prometric got back to me annd my free resit is in may plenty of time to nuckle down and study my weaknesses

You will pass the exam, jazman. Keep at it.

On the cheery side, you are a lot closer to getting the 70-680 certificate than I am. Hey pal, I have even yet to take it.

Hearing that there are several server-side questions, I'm expanding my focus there a bit. Also hearing that there are several questions needing to arrange in a sequence, I'm taking notes when I come across material that appear to be ideal for that sort of question. Also memorizing command-line options of the programs invoked outside a GUI environment.

Frankly, I'm getting somewhat sick of Windows 7. But a lot of things are becoming second nature. Hopefully things I'll need when taking the exam.

How do you get a free retake? 647 pretty close! almost there. Which areas did you score least in?

What resources did you use? I found some questions in the exam where not covered in my books (Don Poulton) so using the MS one now.

How long was it between your sits?

(sorry for the interrogation)

Keep at it!

Thanks for the support guys

In answer to your questions Luigieee, The free resit is because mistakes where made by prometric in my first attempt, so people who took it and failed withing a certain date in february got a free resit.

Ive been using the MS training kit book, but i find books hard to concentrate on. IVe also been using the practice exams that come with that book as well as professor messer. Also my tutor got us access to the Microsoft eLearning course for windows 7 which also contains labs

With the sits, i think the way prometric do it is if you fail your first attempt you can retake it straight away providing you have paid for another exam. After that you have to wait 2 weeks between resits. You can only take one exam up to 5 times in a year.

Bokuyo:

Yep, i've learnt that command lines and cmdlets are a must have especially when it comes to things like User State Migration tool and deplyoing windows.
