I took 70-291 today and failed. Got 635. I studied like a fool. I used
Fravo test exams and the CertGuide book.

When I saw the actual exam questions I thought I was sitting the wrong exam!
It was tough going, being so unprepared, I thought.

Which book or which prep test exams should I use ?

You stupid cheating a$$fusker. You deserve what you got cheating. Go rot

I think that Lasher summed this up the best. So, I'm going to give you
some links to some excellent training material.

http://www.microsoft.com/virtualpc
http://www.microsoft.com/virtualserver (These two are for the
assumption that you don't have a lot of computers to make a network with).

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver (For a few evaluation copies of
Windows Server 2003 R2)

Now for the important ones..

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/102-9867888-6178502?search-alias=aps&keywords=70-291
(Search results for 70-291 at amazon)

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-291.asp (should be obvious)

http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/5433.asp (You'll find this at
amazon also)

http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6469.asp (This is at amazon also)

Now.. Here's something to think about. You spent some $$$ on the cheat
tools, then spent about $100 or so to fail the test. So, spend the $$$
on these books and products, and then spend the $100 or so on the test.
You may be surprised.

And, next time when you prepare for the next exam, remember how
wonderfully you did using the cheat tools. Then, go to Microsoft and
the different book ordering sites, and get the right things. It will be
money well spent. Simply because, you can't use the cheat sheets as
reference later on when you have an issue come up. You can with these
books and tools.

Take a look at the exam outline on the web site. Think about which area
of the test gave you the most trouble and cross reference the outline.

Ben,

Reference Fravo and CertGuide and you'll find they're br@indump sites. I
do agree with your next post though. Go get an MSPress box set or
something.
