Make use of the Virtual Labs that Microsoft provides, as well as the free Webcasts. Practice test material is just for that… PRACTICE. It may help you pass the test but believe me you will only last one day in a job if you don’t know what you are doing, so if you use practice material, read the question and if you don’t know the answer, research it and learn it, don’t just memorize the answer….I will tell you right now that their answers are not always right.

Also make sure when you test that you read the questions carefully, they many times put extra information, that you don’t need, to see if you know what you are doing (not to throw you off as some think) or they are asking for a specific answer, not how to resolve all the problems in the scenario.. Be aware of the type of exam you are taking. For example, if you are taking a basic operating system exam, a networking problem is USUALLY resolved by using the TOOLS the operating system comes with and may not be the advanced administrator troubleshooting found in Server exams. Also in networking there is the Microsoft answer and there is the Cisco answer and they will both be right but only for THEIR type of test.
