I think that should prepare you quite well. Don't be discouraged if you can't pass the transcenders, I have never passed a single one of them, but, I have never failed a single real exam. The Transcenders are VERY hard and the passing score is VERY high, for a reason. They guarantee if you pass theirs and fail the real one, you get your money back. Well, if you buy them instead of get them from a friend, anyway.. lol For instance, the old NT4 TCP/IP exam.. I couldn't pass the Transcender to save my life, but I got a 933 on the real one.. ?? As always, YMMV. -Jeff On Wed, 24 Nov 2004 13:51:07 -0800, David Spanne <werenomads@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks for all the input about brain dumps. Right now I'm still at the study > phase.
