I took the test today. Somewhat frustrated that I did not have much to base my studying on for the new adaptive schema. Looks as though it does pull from the original pool of questions. I remember seeing questions I have seen in posts.

Really wacky questioning. In the beginning of the exam I thought I would have to take this exam again to become an MCSE. Further through the test I thought the questions were much easier (and on the same note because of this, I was thinking to myself... oh crap, I am doing bad), but of course difficulty is all relative. I believe the pool of questions to be very large. You simply need to know the topic very well.

I as well only received 25 questions.

Study up on...

setting up RAS gateways for clients (first question I received, luckily I have done it before)

DHCP!!!!!! scopes, exclusions, client reservations

Wins

Unix questions were not to bad, consisted of lpr, wins proxy agent, and dns.

Zero on subnetting. hehehe I did not trust the other posts I saw here for adaptive saying they had only one, so I studied hard core on them.

Questions on setting up DNS, DHCP, WINS across multiple subnets. Know when proxy agents/subnets/cacheing/secondary DNS is necessary.

Know the tools, ipconfig, netstat, nbtstat, netmon, perfmon.

Know SNMP communities and traps. What a client can do and what a Manager can do. I received a question were you dragged what can do what in their related boxes. Client was just traps.

I studied routing hard core as well. Really did not receive barely anything on routing.

I rarely like the exam cram books. I have found a lot of discrepancies in them, this time it was a great resource!

Also read the MS Press TCP/IP book and Transcenders.

I review/study to the last minute. Better to have it fresh in your head then stale.

Spend a day or more reviewing transcenders and brain dumps.

Hope this helps.
