70-219 help

[mrmoneymatters]

I have taken 5 tests so far. It has taken me a couple of years to get this far. The reason it took so long is I wanted to know the material, not just pass the test. I took pro and server very close together. Soon after that I got my first net admin position in a small environment. Took infrastructure and 218 to get my MCSA. I took everything I had learned from studying for those and applied it while working. A year and a half later I got another net admin job for a company over twice the size. It was also time to start studying again so I went and took my ad test. I am now almost ready to take ad design but want some advice. I have read two books so far. I am now studying Testking but it only has 12 scenarios on it. I heard they are up to 17 scenarios available.
How can I get the other ones?
Also, should I just study the question at the end of each scenario?

Now don't get me wrong; but you sound like a fraud... Shame on you!!!

*whew!* what an opening... but don't get defensive, we're here to help!! We'll assume for the moment that you're honestly mistaken... unlike that former National Security Advisor who inadvertently put classified materials in his pants and socks...

The reason it took so long is I wanted to know the material, not just pass the test.

Good so far, it took me about a year... 216 took the longest... most only required 3-4 weeks of concentrated study time (along with the full-time work, taking care of the family, and "required" social activities).

I am now studying Testking but it only has 12 scenarios on it. I heard they are up to 17 scenarios available. How can I get the other ones?

TestKing is a braindump, not a study guide. You should throw it away and never mention it again...

If you're studying to really learn the materials, you do not want a braindump as that's studying the test, not (in this case) Designing Active Directory.

Actually, after studying so hard for the other tests, 219 was the easiest... finished in 15 minutes...

No fraud here, I just enjoy what I do. I understand what you are saying about testking but my problem is I really didn't enjoy reading the books for this test. They were extremely boring. I am a net admin for a company with a little more than a hundred people. I am not merging 5 companies across the globe with a bunch of power happy people wanting control over their domain. Know what I mean. Of course it is good to have this knowledge but how much is reatained after studying is the question.
By studying the way I do I retain more. Like I said, I took the four test for MCSA and then used it. Once I felt like I was ready to learn more, and comfortable using what I had learned I moved to new areas.
As for the way you feel about testking, sorry to hear that. I honestly read at least one book about every test that I take, then I read testking or somethink like it. I have learned a lot of information from braindumps.

Instead of testking, why not steer towards something like

http://www.transcenders.com

or

http://www.selftestsoftware.com

??

These are basically the same thing, and there is much knowledge to be taken from their reasons for why answers are right or wrong... BUT they are not the REAL questions and answers that you will see in the exam, and therefore do nothing to damage the reputation of currently certified individuals and indeed the certifications themselves.

Please stay away from testking and other braindumps. They are bad for our field and will ultimately devalue our accreditations if allowed to continue.

UKHicks, you are right about the test software. I have learned a lot of info from both of those in the past. They are great tools to increase you knowledge, not just pass a test.

Just wanted to let you know I passed. One more test and I will be a MCSE.
