Well, the test was actually harder than I thought, I still passed with a score in the 800′s. I will say that the book that I purchased did lack a little. The book I used as my primary study resource was MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-642): Configuring Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure. Another friend of mine took this exam a few weeks ago, using a combination of this book and Trainsignal, he mentioned that the combination was great. On my next exam I am likely to be combining both trainsignal and the text book (70-640). I hope to have this one passed by mid-june. I will make a post regarding my thoughts on the video and textbook study method. This on top of virtual machines and hands on.

Security+ Exam
Well its been a few days since my last update, now much is new, I’m going to be studying for CompTIA’s Security+ exam. As a study guide I picked up a copy of All-in-One’s CompTIA Security+ Exam Guide, Second Edition. I plan to take the exam sometime during the 3rd week of March, which gives me a bit of time to recover from having my wisdom teeth taken out and to begin studying. Upon completion of the exam, I will make a post (part 2 to this) with a review of the test, how the book helped, and what all I don’t recall seeing in the book.
