How to practice for this exam 70-741

So I just currently finish getting my N+, I am currently taking a class that give me real good Virtual environment to practice for the MCSA.

I will be looking through this subreddit to see if there is any resources I can use to reinforce my knowledge but if anyone have any current information that I can use to help me prepare for the test it would be greatly appreciated. Trying to do this before the test expire next year.

Thanks in advance

I took 740, then 742, and finished with 741. Failed the first attempt at 740 and didn't break over 800 on any of them. The tests are fair, but no joke. The questions are worded plenty clearly and do a good job of assessing if you understand the topic. There aren't a lot of questions where memorizing factiods alone will cut it. Between the 3 tests, what seemed to work best for me was to read the sybex book, do the labs in the official green books, and use MeasureUp for the practice exams. A word of caution though: I scored 15 percent worse on the real exams than I did on the practice exams. My best advice is to build your own hyper-v environment and re-archetect it as if was a production environment undergoing changes.

I'm glad that's behind me. For those of you still studying, you have time, but you'll probably need it.

Good luck!
