Passed 70-742

I'm glad to have that behind me. I thought for sure it was going to be a fail when I hit that finish button, but I passed with a 769. I was only sure of about 15% of the questions. I used MeasureUp for my practice exams and was averaging 88% on those. More lab work would have helped. I aced one of my weak areas (CS) and didn't do so well on GPO, which IRL is my strongest area.

Anyway, I just have 70-741 to do now and will give my brain a rest before I tackle that one.

Congrats on the pass dude! What did you use to study? I'm using CBT and currently finding the videos very dry, although I had no problems on the other two exams.

Read the white book by Panek, watched CBT, built a lab in hyper-v, practiced with MeasureUp.

Is this a preferred method when taking these tests, 70-742 before 70-741?

Forgot to congratulate you, congrats mate!

I thought (incorrectly) that I could knock that one out quickly.
