ITIL V3 Foundation booked (at last !)
Well managed to scrape the exam fee together whilst still job-hunting so for my sins have (finally) booked this one for Weds 5th in the afternoon.

I've been studying using this with it's free online study course plus this and CBT Nuggets videos.

It might sound like overkill but it's been a while since I took an exam (no, I don't get exam nerves) and in view of my job situation I really need to make sure I pass.

I'll have probably logged about 40-50 hours of study/reading so I hope it's stuck in that thing called my brain.

Will let you know how I get on !

I took this exam the week before last. Don't know my results yet, they had to send the paper away to be marked. Good luck when you take yours, I am sure you will pass.

Good luck mate - passed mine back in July - found the Nuggets a little slow. Gave up on it in the end.

I used this book Linky and I passed with about 75% after 6 or so weeks reading it.

MBCS, BSc(Hons), Cert(Maths), A+, Net+, MCP, MCDST, ITIL-F v3


Aims:
70-270 (by mid-Feb)
70-290 (by start of June)
70-291 and MCSA (by end of Sep)
CCENT or CCNA (by year-end)

Damnit !

Just missed it - needed 26/40 and got 25/40

Guess I'll be scraping around for another 90 quid

Sorry to hear that Kev.

To be honest, the earth doesn't move for me as far as ITIL is concerned. If it was more interesting, I think it would be a heck of a lot easier to take in.

Best of luck for next time.
