Sorry for the exam result Neil. My experience with MS exams are they are
tough. Not only do you have to have good reading and comprehension skills,
you have to really study the questions being asked and weed out the known
wrong answers and sometimes choose between two answers that look like they
might be a right answer.
I've taken around 10 or 12 MS exams as well as other vendor exams and I'm
never comfortable with MS exams. Luckily MS is offering currently a failed
exam you can take another for free. If you didn't know about it go to their
MCP site and look it up.
I'm studying for the 70-290 currently using the transcenders and a couple of
books. I have some experience with Server OS but not a lot.
Good luck on your next try and remember that MS exams are tough and your not
alone.
Adios,
Paul
