Were there simulations on this exam? Seems theres no room for simulations as everything on the exam is conceptual, rather than practical. Theres so little information posted about the exam itself, its hard to tell what to expect. Ive been reviewing some test questions and answers and it seems more like a reading comprehension exercise than a technical test. I have been doing this job for awhile so maybe my experience speaks to your comments above, but now Im thinking this is going to be easy, rather than difficult. When Ive been stumped, I choose the Microsoft Answer, and it never fails. This is my last MCSE exam and its become quite obvious which answers they want me to give, regardless of whether Id ever actually choose a particular solution in real life.

I’m aiming to do that actual exam later this year so doubly well done. how did you find it technically?

I’m in two minds over the technical exams v the situational design ones. The tech ones you either know the answer or you don’t but you have to know the tiny details to make the pass a sure thing. The design ones you can get away with knowing the basic concepts but you’ve got to actually understand them as opposed to be able to regurgitate simple facts.

overall, i’ve found the design ones easier personally.
