Are you planning on utilizing the free exam code for the 70-656 exam that Trika posted to her blog? If you do, you'll want to book quickly as the free voucher is only available to the first 500 people.

If you are going to write the exam, check out Garth's post about free E-learning courses that Microsoft has out. The one which will help you prepare for this exam is Clinic 6335- Exploring Microsoft Application Virtualization.

Free exam voucher, free training, doesn't get much easier to get certified.

70-294 – Another exam down

by

As per my previous post, Where has Todd been Hiding? I wrote 70-294 – Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure. I found the self-paced Study guide and practice tests with the book a good resource to study with. I had also participated in the OWSUG study group for 70-294, wrote and passed the 71-640 (AD on 2008) beta exam and work with the topics that the exam covers. I was pretty prepared for this exam and as a result, passed the exam. I found there was a lot of reading on this exam, more than I had experienced on the previous 290-series exams.

My next exam is booked for August 14th and is the 70-297 – Designing a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure exam which is the last exam I need for my MCSE. For this one I need to do some serious prep work for as I believe this is an exam based on case studies. You get a case study, then you need to answer questions on that case study, then on to next case study. I will be using the Microsoft 70-297 self-paced study kit and the Microsoft e-learning courses to help me prepare for this exam. As I study, I may post some questions from the various chapters as I go along, like Garth is doing for the 70-298 exam on OWSUG.ca.
