I took the exam this past Monday. It was hairy - 60
questions, 2.5 hrs. The worst part of the test is the
time limit - watch your time! I had alot on IPSec and
Certificates... and of course the standard: DNS, DHCP,
WINS, etc.

I took it a little while ago and got what you got 60 Qs - 2.5 hours. I've
seen people report that they had 210 minutes and various other times.
Perhaps it addled them.
And I agree the time is the problem - and to Jason - you might want to look
at a practice test to prepare yourself for the type of question. The real
problem is the time coupled with the length of the questions - many of them
are long, incredibly wordy, full irrelevant information with the nugget you
need to spot buried somewhere in the prolixity. There are also annoying
drag and drop questions that are not hard in themselves but become hard as
you try to see all the elements on the screen at the same time. I simply
blew one off, left the question unanswered, because I couldn't get enough of
the windows on the screen to see how to answer a what was a simple question.
I always assumed I could leave a few questions unanswered and still pass.
And that was the time to test the assumption. It made me a bit nervous, but
I did pass.
One tip- check your testing center ahead of time and try to be sure they
have decent monitors set to a decent resolution and refresh rate. It might
help.
