Was it that you didn't understand the questions fast enough, or that you didn't know the subject as well as you thought?

Best of luck next time.

Unlucky mate, I think you get allot of points for the sims so if you messed some of them up it would have been even tougher to pass.

Sorry to hear that Ence as MS exams are not that easy to pass nowadays. I'd advise you get the MS press book and go through all the practices and re-read if possible and sure next time round you'd be okay.

Red face
thanks for rpls

Looks like I have to start again at the press book practices

sunn

The problem I had with a lot of the questions I couldn't read them - well not read but understand. I Dyslexic I'm not using that as an excuse. Just means I have to try twice as hard then everyone else i know that.

If I remember rightly there server 2k exam was much easier my score was 850.

I spent months on this exam. O well no point moaning back to it.

Edit:
O yes forgot test centre called, two Kids handed my MCP ID card into the test centre, They never left there names as I can say thanks you the them

self doubt Is this all worth it

Best of luck on your next attempt!

Don't worry about the MCP ID card... once you get another certification, they'll send you a new one with the old certs listed on it.
