70-290, 91 vs. 70-292

Hello everyone,
I am curious if anyone has taken all three of these exams. I was
another 70-292 casulty this week and and I am thinking it will probably
be a more worthwhile to go the 70-291 and 90 route instead of just the
292.

I scored 628 on the 292. Studying for this exam I used CBT Nuggets, a
test lab, along with experts exchange and technet to research certain
things. I read the Sybex book the entire way through about a year ago
and referred back to it a few times during my preparation for this
exam. I refuse to use braindumps, test king or anything of that nature.

My main question is, given my score on the 292 what are my chances of
passing the 291? I am really not all that against taking an extra test
but I have read a lot of horror stories about people failing the 292
multiple times.

If my chances of passing are about the same, what study aids should I
be using? What are closest to the test? (I feel I may have to relearn
a few things microsoft way as I was fairly confident in pretty much all
of my answers on the test.)

Since the 292 didn't give me an explanation of my weak areas what are
some common ones and what should I focus on?

Hmmm

I took 292 in Feb 2004 and then 290 and 291 in May of 2004

My company needed the 2003 accreditation and I already had 2000 MCSE
then they paid for me to attend a full-on 2003 MCSE course. I checked
with MS and they said I could take 292 and 296 then take 290,291, 293
and 294 later if I wanted!!!!!

The easier was the 292 although 290 and 291 were about the entire
syllabus not just the deltas (292)

Could you pass the 290 and 291 without extra study - no.

290 and 291 need extra study. Funnily some of the questions from 292
appeared in my 290 and 291 exams!

Can I suggest that if you failed 292 that you put down the tesskings
and start studying?
