Passed 70-216!

Just passed by the skin of my teeth, with a score of 700 exactly!

Much harder than I expected, loads of questions on multicasting, which I
know the basics of, but not to the detail asked in the exam, i.e. setting it
up through a router that doesn't support multicasting.
I took the 2153 course last week, and multicasting was only briefly
mentioned, nothing on troubleshooting and managing it!
Another question was on DNS & Round Robin!? As far as I knew that was
something to do with betting on horses!
Also have the Mike Meyers 70-216 certification book and an exam prep book
and I can't find anything about round robin in them, had to google the term
after!

Anyway, at least its another exam passed, just means I have a lot of post
exam studying to do!

Sounds like to me you didn't study to little or too much, You studied just
right. Congrats.... One word of caution however. The Mike Myers books aren't
always the best reference. I've not read the one for 216 but have on
occasion seen several errors in those books. Just thought you might want to
know.

Hey Rev,

Thanks for letting me know. I've got 3, and like you said I've found a few
errors, plus most topics are only briefly covered. Luckly I've only ever
brought the books off ebay, so only paid a few ££, which isn't bad! For my
70-217 & 70-221 exam I think I'll get sybex or MS press!
