70-221 Conquered!!!

[cross36]

The exam was four cases in all. Many overview question where you had to move the proper answer into it's category.
The passing score was a 556. I was honored to achieve a 733. Grantedd it's low. But in all fairness I passed.
Now onto my last 2 electives!!!

Alright! Way to be! So there were a lot of drag and place questions? Without divulging too much, what were the sticking points?

[cross36]

Sticky point, was the university case study. Setting the different IPs, creating the actual scopes and which addresses to exclude. Where to put the different service.

The other 3 were simpler. DNS, WINS, Proxies, Password, Bandwiths, rights, securities

So, in terms of difficulty, how would you rank it? How does it compare to your 216 experience?

[cross36]

Honestly Jeff that's a tough one to estimate and answer. I studied for 6 weeks for the 216 exam. And 2 weeks for the 221.
I guess honestly, if you do well and pass the first time the 216, you can jump to the 221. The book covered 14 or 15 chapters for 221.
I read it all through once. And noticed much of 216. So I eliminated it down to eight chapters on my second review. And that's how I passed my exam.
Though the score wasn't high enough to jump off the walls with joy. I still passed..

Congrats on the pass! Don't worry about the score. Look at it like 216 & 217 where they don't give a score, a pass is a pass.
