Hello Boys & Girls,

I just did Exchange 5.5 yesterday, and passed (866).
This was my last exam for MCSE+Internet, and it was a close-call, as MCSE+Internet will not be offered after Feb 28th. I could not afford a 'miss' so I studied like a donkey!

Exam that I got was 35 questions. As you already know, Sybex Study Guide (3 edition) is ABSOLUTELY the 'Bible' for this exam, and this was the only tool I needed to pass.

If you use this book, and understand the topics, there should be no problem. My exam focused on troubleshooting, backup-recovery and various Connectors/Migration strategies.

Please, focus on those chapters, and best of luck!!!

Congratulations Dado1470:

Only 35 questions? Lucky you huh!

I sit for this one next Tuesday. I have been using the Sybex bible, Transcenders, TroyTec, rosary beads, budda's belly.... for this one. Hope I am right on the money.

Nettekker - back to the books again, again, again, again.....

Since you had the short version of the test how much time was given to you to complete it?

Hey, thanks for your kind responses...

The test was, if I remember it correctly, 75 minutes long. (Don't quote me on that).

Of course, it was Standard Format (non-adoptive), and 35 questions.

It took me about 40 minutes to complete it (including reviews of marked questions)!

This is how I do these tests (and it works for me, since I had 13 IT exams so far and I did not fail sinle one yet):

- If I know the answer, I select it and go on. (I don't mark it for review!)

- I don't know the answer straight away: I eliminate the obvious wrong choices, select the one that I think is correct, mark it and go-on.


This way, usually I go through the exam withing 30-40 minutes, and I am left with 5-10 questionable (Marked) questions. Then I will go back ONLY to those ones. This, then leaves me with, sometimes, 5 minutes per questionable question, which is more than enough to find the correct answer in great detail.

For me, the trick is to 'fly' through the ones I know for sure, and leave only a handful for later review.

I NEVER, EVER, go though revieving the Whole Test before I end it. I do not see the point of that, I'd much rather spend my remainig time to think about the ones I wasn't sure of.

That's my 2 cents....
