Finally free of 291
Well passed it this morning, and I would say that this was probably the hardest exam I had so far studied for (IT related, that is). It just covers so much stuff, and you can go into lots of detail, and more you go into it, the more you feel like you know less and less. So my advice is, when you kind of think you can pass just do it, otherwise you will just postpone it week after week while yuo get burried in details. Take advantage of the second chance offer, and you be OK.
Well now it is off to 284, which I gather should be a breeze (compared to 291 I mean).

Good going on the pass.

The 291 is an absolute beast in sheer quantity of topics, but it was the 293 that I found hardest so far.

To Do List of 2008:

70-294 - Early Jan 2008 - PASSED
VMware VCP Course Early Feb - VCP Qualified by Mid / Late Feb? PASSED
70-293 - Originally Mid Jan 2008 (Didn't take) Done Early April. PASSED

TS 70-620 and 70-297 by Aug 2008
CCA by Christmas? Start Studying for 2008 Upgrades

EDIT : Now Studying Exchange 70-284. Deadline Aug 2008 instead of 297.

Thanks
for all the congrats. I was going to take a break before 284, but I just cannot help myself and I am in the middle of installing Exchange already :-). Should be studying Indesign instead.

If you’re up to it, ride the wave and get the 284. Being in the right state-of-mind to learn will definitely be an advantage.

291 left me shell shocked. It's the only MS test where I worried about having enough time. All the other exams seemed to allot twice as much time as I actually needed.

Anywho, congrats on slaying the beast!
