paseed... not as hard

After taking and failing the 293 two times I was prepared to have this one be just as bad. The questions are kind of tricky but they follow a theme. CA, PKI, manging traffic across the internet were prevelant. Good luck. I am really amazed how Microsoft is approaching it's certification program, this exam was supposed to be primarily design oriented, but be prepared to face some "check this, click that" questions. uCertify test simulation and Microsoft press book helped me.

Exam 70-293 was harder, but if you study Exam Cram and download some practice tests, you should pass. You may not get a 950+, but who cares. Its been a while since I took it but I think I made in the low 900s, and I studied for 3 weeks straight solved ucertify practise test. There were also a lot of questions I was not prepared for, but had to take my best guess. Technet subscription, MS press books and some more simulation like Transcender, measureup, testking is also good.
