Hey Everyone,
I'm new here and I have a fulltime job as a helpdesk employee. I've started studying for the 70-271 using the MCDST Self-Paced Training Kit and I came to look help help for which is the best way to study? Cuz I looked at a practice exam and comparing it to what I read in the book, it didn't help much, because most of what was on the practice exam wasn't even mentioned in the book. So I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!!!

Hi and welcome to CF!

For people to have a better idea as to what might be the problem, could you say where the practice exam came from? The quality of these varies widely!

Harry.

this is the link where the practice exam came from. Visual CertExam Suite is used to take the practice exam questions.

Link to braindump material removed.

Since you may not know better, use certguard to validate your study resources. The one you mentioned is a braindump, and you won’t get support from us using that material.

Can you increase my PM count?
Why doesn't the forum load as quickly as it used to?
Can't we get more new people to stick around the forum?
Have you painted the dining room yet?
Would you change the oil in my car?
The lawn needs mowing...
Could you pick up some stuff for me on the way home?
I want to go on a holiday cruise...
