Reddit reviews MCSA 70-410 Cert Guide R2: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 (Cert Guides)

I subscribed to CBTnugget couple weeks prior to my test to recap with the videos, and it gives you access to Transcender test which in and of itself is worth it. It's a great practice test. I like how it explains why the wrong answers are wrong. It comes with digital flash cards too.

I got around 50 questions. Besides powershell, make sure you know Hypver-V really well and study up on IPv6 too.

I used Don Poulton's 70-410 book mainly and William Panek's MCSA Complete Study Guide as supplement.

Good luck!

I realized after I posted this that there is no Cert Guide book for 70-411....but the one I was referring to for 70-410 is this one: http://www.amazon.com/MCSA-70-410-Cert-Guide-Configuring/dp/0789748800

Anyway, now I'm trying to figure out if I should just stick with the Sybex combined 410/411/412 book keeping in mind how bad it is and read a lot more Technet articles to supplement, or if I should try to find something else. There doesn't seem to be anything out there that gets glowing reviews as a comprehensive exam prep book for the 70-411.

I have also been preparing for the MCSA. I've been reading this book and think it's pretty good.

Wow, you are really digging deep, mate. I only have this book and the Udemy course.

I also have a few years of experience in System Administration as well. I will see how I will do in the 70-410 exam.

This is the book I'm currently using for my MCSA 70-410 exam. The book itself is fantastic. The only downfall is that the series got cancelled after this book because of a fallout between the author and the publisher. Highly recommend this as a starter.

Feel your pain - took me 2 tries to pass 70-410, and everyone in the shop knowing I failed the first time was a major bummer.

Highly recommend the Pearson 70-410 book by Poulton - much better coverage than the Sybex book.

Fair enough.

With that in mind, you may want to consider getting Exam Prep books to aid you. This isn't bad and you might want to check it out:

Also, go through 70-411 content. That tends to supplement any gaps you may have noticed in the questioning.

Don't give up. You WILL ace that exam.
