Well, I took the 70-270 exam yesterday and passed it with a score of 861.
I did a little informal survey of the scores reported in here. Of the 18
reported scores I found, the average score was 783 including the failing
scores reported. (The average of the 14 passing scores reported is 815)
So I am pretty proud of myself.
I feel I would have done much better if I had studied the Microsoft Self-
Paced Training Kit instead of that darn ExamCram2 book. The retail price
of the Microsoft book is only $30 higher. Only about $10 higher if you
compare 'used' copies from Amazon. Definitely worth the extra money.
There are a lot of questions on the test about using a WinXP machine as
an IIS server in various ways. They even specify that there are 50 or so
PC's on a network and then ask you about configuring an XP Pro machine as
a server of some sort. Now, an astute reader will know that this will
never work because you can only have 10 PC's attached to an XP machine at
any one time but they completely glossed over that bit. And you have to
answer the question as if there were no limit or assuming that only 10 or
fewer people would ever connect at one time.
I also found many questions that were definitely not covered by the
ExamCram2 book. I had to just guess on them. When in doubt my strategy is
go go with the answer that puts Microsoft in the best light or
demonstrates some 'feature' that I know Microsoft is trying to promote.
