I just passed 70-290

I took the 70-290 exam this morning and passed.

This one felt easier than 70-270. I guess it's probably because 70-270 was
my first Microsoft exam and I was really really nervous.

Next I'm taking 70-284.

How long does it take usually for new exams you've passed to get added to
your Microsoft transcript? Just curious ...

 

I've had it added the next day, and I've had it take up to 7 business days.
Usually 2 business days.

I've had more luck with VUE updating Microsoft faster. My one test with
Prometric is the 7 day one.

 

Congratulations Julie, I'm studying now for the 70-290 and success strories
are good to hear. Could I ask how much hands on experience (either real
world or lab) you had prior to testing?...I'm going through a self paced
online course (that has really weak simulations) now and supplementing that
with a Syngress textbook and I'm relly feeling pretty good about the test. I
haven't scheduled it yet, but I'm looking at taking in before the end of this
month.

I appreciate your time.

I've been in IT for about 7 years but have only been working with 2003 since
around September of last year. Some of my experience is from work and some
is from the lab I set up.

 

I just checked my transcript and it's been updated already. Cool! I didn't
expect it to be that fast.

I took my exam at a Prometric center.

 

It won't let me print my transcript. It keeps telling me to install the
Active X control. I do and then it tells me to do it again. I'm going in
circles. If I click where the button should be to print it, it wants me to
install Internet Explorer 7 Beta. Hmmmm ... I'd really prefer not to install
a beta version of IE.

 

You "might" have to make it a trusted site. Once the control is installed,
you can change the security again. Let me know if that doesn't fix it.

 

Still doesn't like it. I gave up and printed it from my desktop. My
notebook just doesn't like that Active X control for some reason.

 

Congratulations Julia!!! Good to see more women here, good luck on the
70-284. I passed it last week and it wasn't too hard although there were only
30 questions and therefor only a few mistakes allowed :-(
