70-272 what to expect?

Hello,

Im taking my 70-272 in about 3 days and im nervous because i dont know what to study! My job sprung this on me at the last minute, but ive taken numerous practice exams and it seems fairly easy.

So far all ive used is the sybex study guide. From what i can tell its a bunch of office questions.

my questions are:

1. How difficult is this test? I have been a windows sys admin for about a year now.

2. How many questions?

3. What did you use to study?

4. is there a waiting period on retakes?

Thanks in advance, im probably freaking out for no reason, but i cannot find any ifo in the internet about this test.

1. It depends on the individual taking the exam, it varies person to person.

2. Num Questions: Approx. 50 (per exam see here & here under spec)

3. The Sybex MCDST book, plus experience

4. see quote and here for the page

A. If you do not pass an exam the first time you take it, you may retake it at any time. If you do not achieve a passing score the second time, you must wait at least 14 days to retake the exam a third time. A 14-day waiting period will be imposed for all subsequent exam retakes. If you have passed an exam, you cannot take it again. Beta exams may be taken only once.

My eyes, they bleed. Dude, if you know that braindumps are wrong - and considering that you can be decertified, banned and face legal action against you, why did you use some them? Plus see here regarding security of exams.

I bought the sybex MCDST book per your advice and it is awesome, thank you. The book seems pretty straight forward, but i just have alot to read in 3 days. I will let you know how i did after its done.
