246 and 247 exams are passed

ignatenko — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 03:48:42 GMT

According Prometric site both 71-246 and 71-247 are passed (I took betas in April). For some reasons I do not see hard-earned MCSE in my transcript thoug

Good luck to everybody. I felt 246 much harder since it incorporates a lot of technologies.

How many so far?

Hi All,

I am have just passed my 70-246 that has taken me up to my MCSE private cloud (I believe the exam was released today). I will soon be writing a blog on what my revision techniques and how I went about getting the required skills. I pretty much set a goal to build a fully function private cloud. That way you will learn everything needed from the 70-640 (AD) to the actual Private cloud exams. I should have this by the end of the week :)

I was wondering if we had an estimate as to how many MCSE: Private Cloud certified people are out there as off today?

If you have taken them all already, good luck :)

Thanks

Paul

For three years, Microsoft Learning has held multi-day virtual conferences called Microsoft Certified Career Conference. Two of the tracks you might find helpful are Exam Crams and Super Cert Me. These sessions are recorded for all registered attendees to review.

Even though the conference has passed, you can still gain access to these recorded sessions. That's three years of valuable content, at no cost to you. Visit www.mscareerconference.com/ and register/create a profile, then click on the blue "Microsoft Certified Career Conference" tile in the center. (Bonus: You can also listen to Stephen Rose's keynote address from this year's conference!)

Exam specific sessions that are currently available:

70-432, 433, 448, 515, 573, 576

70-640, 642, 646, 647, 652, 659, 662, 662/663, 668, 680, 685, 686

Enjoy!
