70-297: failed!
Doh!
 Absolute nightmare this one, thought the 70-291 was difficult but this is on a different level! Failed with 640 so not a million miles away but that’s little comfort to be honest. Time is one of the biggest challenges on this exam; don’t expect to have an hour to spare at the end so you can check your answers. Also you need to make sure you fully understand the question(s) before answering as you can find yourself contradicting what you have put for previous answers. Anyways back to the books I guess, not sure where to start as the print out showed that all sections were virtually the same.  Me: You need to buy a couple of servers. Customer: Whats wrong with the servers I have? Me: Well, you dont have *any* servers just now. Customer: WTF! I thought I did!

Like GBL said that's bad luck,
Tonight -relax, crack open a beer and don't get too hung up on failure mark. Then tomorrow - Pick yourself up and get back to studying  We all know you can do it!

Sorry to hear that sparky.
Chin up though, you weren't a million miles out and I'm sure you'll nail it next time. You did use second shot didn't you?

It happens. Take some time to lick your wounds, then back to the books.

Don't worry Sparky as am sure second time would be a charm
. On a serious note what are you using to prepare and study for this exam. I am a firm believer that you need to at least read three books then after lots of hands on hit transcenders. That's exactly what I'd do anyway Don't worry as I know you'd nail it next time round so don't fret.

Cheers for the encouragement lads, its appreciated.
For this exam I used the MS Press book, Transcenders and Cram session. I have used this combo for each MS exam I have taken so far apart from the 70-282. I’ve just ordered the exam cram book just to get some extra reading for this exam. Don’t see me having enough time to have another go at this exam before Christmas, too many pub days on the calendar!

Ouch, tough luck Sparky
 I know those design exams are a bear, so many words to read and so much padding it's hard to see the wood for the trees and Microsfot excell at making them as ambigious as possible.Still you got close and at least nowadays you get a score to tell you that. Good luck when you re-sit it, i'm sure with the knowledge you now have of the exam you will kill it next time. Get back to those books and delve a bit deeper and book the re-sit as soon as you can mate! Pete "A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five." <Groucho Marx>

'twas probably the shocking refereeing in the footie that put you off your stride. I'd sue UEFA, if I were you
In all seriousness though, although getting so close is no comfort, at least you know you're in the right ball park. Just polish up what you've already got, and you'll breeze through next time, no problems.

It's better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all..... or so some wise-ass said
Bad luck mate, take a breather and then hit the books again. You'll nail it - we all know it! BTW - the exam was biased against you from the start, you knew your stuff  It's the journey that matters, not the destination. Aims: 70-271: Dec 2007 PASSED! 70-272: March 2008 PASSED!

If all of the sections are about the same, there's just some little details that you're missing, throughout. Skim through your study materials and see if anything pops out at you that you were having troubles with.
Best of luck on your next attempt! BosonMichael MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92
