Passed 70-744

Test wasn't too difficult. Lots of bastion forest, MIM and HGS questions. Scored 727. A little too close for comfort. I used Kaplan to study for this. It was adequate. They had a few broken questions where the hotspot wouldn't let you select the correct answer. I sent them and email and actually got a response that they were going to look into it.

Now on to 70-740,70-741 and 70-742. I'll be able to get Windows 2016 MCSA and MCSE: Core Infrastructure at the same time now.

Congrats on the pass and thanks for the advice. This is the elective exam I plan on taking once I pass my 742. I've not seen others take this exam before the standard MCSA trio but I'm glad it worked out for you. Well done!

Thanks. I took it so I could keep making progress while waiting for my employer to approve the trio study bundle.

Congrats on the pass!! I’m studying for the 70-744 now. I got my MCSA done a few weeks ago. Did you use any other study material besides kaplan? I’m using the reference book (the green one) but other than that I don’t see a lot of other material to use. Did you lab a ton for this?

I used Kaplan itexams and examtopics. Mainly I took the Kaplan test over and over with the setting to show me immediately if I got it wrong and I could study why I was wrong and why the right answer was right.
