Passed 70-536!

You may recall that I was supposed to do this exam yesterday, but there was a problem with the exam workstation, so I had to reschedule to today. It was a bit tight, as Pearson VUE wouldn’t let me reschedule to next year as the voucher I used expires on 31st December.

It was reasonably tricky - a couple of the questions I just had to guess - particularly some of the stuff I don’t use much, but I felt reasonably confident about most of them.

Still, it was a big relief to get to the final screen to see “You have been successful” (or words to that effect). I wanted to shout “YAY”, but there were other people doing exams in the same room so I just did it silently instead :-)

I got 894 by the way.
