Hi
I also have just taken this exam, I also am very very experienced in the Microsft Products and exams. And I also failed with a 641 pass mark. We all failed with the same mark??? It was the worst test I have ever taken. And worst still, as the prep books and the 2395A cousre is no good for this exam, there is now no reference to start from. The prep guide from their site is for the old exam so is the old prep tests and the prep books. So you go into this Exam, not being able to prepare. Finally a totally unreferenced Exam??
