Maybe they are checking for braindump or testking usage and failing
you automatically if you get caught.

OK. If someone will pay the test fee, I will sacrifice myself
to find out what is going on here. I'll take the test and report
back my score. There does seem to be something going on
here and I plan to get to the bottom of it.

Oh yeah, I'll want to take the test during the week, so I'll
need to be reimbursed for the day off of work, and some
gas money to drive into town...plusethe test fee...but that
should do it.

Has anyone passed this exam since Jan 2005? I am MCSE
2000 and have 10 years IT and networking experience. I
have been using Windows Server 2003 almost 15 months and
have a good knowledge and hands-on skills with this
product.

I was prepared for the exam and sat for the exam on
18/02/05, I was so confident that I will pass the exam
and I believe that I did well, but guess what? I FAILED
with a score of 650 and passing score of 700. I have done
many Microsoft exams and never failed one, except this
one (70-292).
has anyone have any suggestion of what might went wrong
and what I can do to improve and pass the exam.

any suggestion welcome.

Regards,

Kevin

I don't think anyone reading this forum has passed this exam in 2005. If they
did, why would they hang here? Just those who have not taken it yet, and the
losers.

That is a good question! Reviewing the skills measured matrix and
honeslty comparing it to the test, I think there is a similarity. But
it leaves alot for the test candidate to fill in the gaps with, and
that is fustrating. I am personally considering on waiting till they
release the 2003 Resouce book before taking this again to supplement my
knowledge. Study hard is one thing, but studing smart is better. Used
the " Upgrade Training Kit frm Microsoft, which gave me a really good
insight to using the OS and its subcomponents. Preparing one for the
test it wasn't exactly on the mark. Microsoft seems to have lots of
gaps and one has to look in numerous places from Microsoft web pages it
seems to fully understand what exactly is the Microsoft Answer.

Using Online web resources from TechNet, Webcasts and Microsoft.com as well
as Reading pertinent sections of various resource Kits will give you all the
information you need to properly prepare for the test...the problem comes in
finding all those resources.

The question was asked and someone hinted that only Losers are among those
who, having passed MCSE or MCSA 2003 certifications, still visit and post in
the forum.

I guess the idea of coming back to help those that have helped you is a
foreign concept? Maybe even the idea that since we all don't know everything
there is to know...it's good to drop in occasionally to access current
trends in test results, pass/fail rates, news of or sharing reviews on new
publications ... is also suspect.

Apparently, the only people in the NG should be MVP's and people seeking
information?

Blind leading the blind or waiting, hoping that your question is one that
will be addressed by an MVP...not much for choices? Better to listen to an
endless carousel of complaints about the unfairness of the test, than to
hear actual that others have taken and passed the test. That way you are
relieved of any reason to dig deeper, study harder, get more
experience...better to constantly harp, ask for either a dumb-down test or
lobby for one that is Hands-on, knowing full well the likely hood of the
latter is unlikely to improve either the pass rate of truly knowledgeable
candidates or be of reasonable cost, but it comes off as a intelligent
request, to those grasping at straws.
