My experience in passing 70-640
Hello, I am Cariol. Greatly, I have been certified as MCITP: EA, after passing all Server 2008 exams including 70-640, 70-642, 70-643, 70-680, and 70-640.Trough hard work at this long Server 2008 certification track ,I finally get my MCITP:EA, after the last exam 70-640.
It feels great! And I am glad to say I have my best score on 70-640 with 949.Of course ,many candidates for MCITP Training once got the separately exam with 1000 without braindump materials .However ,I am satisfied with my scores .
Get down business ,here I just want to share my experience in 70-640 not to show off my scores .I hope my experience will help more and more candidates to 70-640 or MCITP :EA out .
I felt I was very well prepared for all MCTS exams. I had studied all of the MS-Press training kit. Focusing on Windows Server 2008 enterprise administration, this training kit taught me much knowledge about Server 2008 and main topic areas or objectives covered in MCTS 70-640.More important, it comes packed with the tools and features the 70-640 candidates will like .Because this self-paced Training kit covers final exam content, rigorous, objective-by-objective review; exam tips from expert, exam-certified authors; and customizable testing options, and also provides labs and exercises for skills which can not only help you pass 70-640,but also help you get the expertise you can apply to the job. In my opinion, MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit is the best materials, if you want to apply MCTS Training 70-640.Tell you a piece of message. My boy friend just studied about 75% of the MS Press book and scored an 823, which is not a very high score, but is passing.
In my opinion, the reason why I got higher scores than my boy friend was that I had made good use of Certkingdom Notes besides the MS press book. During my 70-640 preparation, I did lots of digging around Server 2008 Certkingdom. On the internet or forums or some blogs, I found that many people wanted to find the free study materials or resources about 70-640, 643,640 or some other Microsoft exams, in fact, the documentation from Certkingdom is best free materials, if you can make good use of it .When I came across something topic area or objectives which are vague and not enough detailed or I was not familiar with ,I would find the answers or clear my confusion from the Certkingdom .When you prepare your 70-640,I hope you can get more .Because it paid off my hard works .
It is known to all we are required to do many 70-640 practice tests to help us grasp Server 2008 technology .Although the MS Press kit has provided some tests, we can not rely on those practice exams .After passing bundles of exams crediting towards MCITP Training: EA such as 70-640, 70-642, 70-643 and so on ,personally ,the best 70-640 practice exams are from Measure Up test.
Although many people thought it is the key to pass Microsoft Certification exams just to have a good book and do enough practice. However, if you have completed MS Press kit, I recommended you to read through the Sybex book which can help you better understand the topics of Server 2008, but can not replace the MS press kit.
The 70-640 exam cost my two months to complete my study plan. Generally speaking, Two months are best for your study time. Of course, you can not take a passive attitude towards your study plan .Every day; I spend 4-6 hours in my MCITP preparation.
Through the above hard work, I was very relaxed when taking the test. I was through it in about an hour and change, but I spent about 15 minutes reviewing about 4-5 questions I wasn’t sure of. Out of 40 questions, my score indicates I got about 36.5 correct. There were 2 questions which I just couldn’t wrap my head around and figure out where they were going. Other than that, I felt like I knew what I was doing.
So, that is my experience .I hope you can get some useful information for your 70-640 preparation. If you have some confusion, please let me know.
EDIT:
How many questions are there in 70-640? About 40 questions .Because 70-640 is a traditional question-based exams, there are no labs and just questions in the exam type.
How many scores you should get to pass the MCTS 70-640 exams? I think it is know to all to get 70% of the total scores. However, generally speaking, the total scores are 1000.
If some of us want to take online training resources for 70-640, the MS Classroom Training is enough for us.
