70-285 - any thoughts before I go in?

[ladato]

I'm planning to take 70-285 (Designing Exchange) around Tuesday this week. It sounds like the same "widowmaker" exam that nearly killed me on my 2003 MCSE last year.

If I read the summary right, it's 6 scenarios, each one 30 min or so long. You read a few screens of company info and attempt to answer questions in a way which is both technically accurate and also fits the company needs.

Once again, I will ask "what's the point?". I don't know how this proves I'm competant at anything except speed-reading and guesswork. But we'll see.

lol.
like your summary of what it proves...

ive only sat one design exam, and it wasn't a bundle of laughs either...

speedreading, yes... guesswork... hope for your sake not cos if you've prepared and you know the subject matter, then still having to guess is not a good sign about the exam.

let us know how it goes, and what you were tested on too..
good luck
