70-668 Exam

I wrote the 70-668 Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administrator exam this morning and failed with a score of 647.  I thought I had managed to scrape through and saw that I had failed, rather bruised my ego for about 30 minutes. 

So I had a voucher that needed to be used this year, I've been busy at work (excuses excuses ..) and thought I would know enough to pass as I am thinking of doing the MCM and still need to pass this last of the 4 basic exams.  On the plus side I know that I need to spend more time on:

• "Designing a SharePoint 2010 Farm Topology"; and
• "Planning SharePoint 2010 Deployments".

These exams are very useful for ensuring you actually know SharePoint.  I'll have to pay for the exam again and try do it in the new year at some point.  This has highlighted to me that I need more time administering SharePoint and can always use improvement on the technical side of SP2010.
