70-285 & 70-284

Kevin Porter · Guest

I passed my 70-284 Exchange exam and was considering taking 70-285. I see,
though, that there is no big-expensive-blue book for 70-285. Anyone know why
this is? Does it cover basically the same material just in more depth?

Also, there was a subnetting question on 70-284 that really seemed wrong to me.
I had to choose one change to make out of four and it seemed like two changes
would be required in order to meet the assignment. I did leave a comment on
the exam about it, but I assume I'll never hear back.

Is there anyway I can ask someone about it without violating the
non-disclosure?

Overall, for the questions I got, it mattered at least as much that you
understood all the system content as the Exchange stuff. There was a lot about
load balancing, clustering, even subnetting and routing. I saw someone talking
about jumping into this test first, maybe because they had a lot of Exchange
experience. I think you would be at a disadvantage if you took this exam
before studying for all the core requirements.
