  Really? Because I heard from someone else that they can if, and only if, they are pointing out errors on the exam. But I have no direct experience with this myself, actually.

  I'm a little slow on the upswing. Regarding this statement "Completing exam 70-445 and studying the associated materials should allow you to go into exam 70-446". What associated materials are being referenced? 😀

  By associated materials, I meant any content that could help you succeed, not really anything in particular. Some of the things I would use to study are the following:

  blogs

  certification study guides

  practice exams

  MSDN & whitepapers

  practice exams

  The main theme of the article other than my exam is that One Note would be a very useful tool to assist with compiling the content that you need to study successfully, and searching for the outline topics will give you a great idea of what to expect.

  cheers,

  Andrew

  I've passed the 70-446 exam last week!

  I managed to score 93% on it while I scored 70% on the 70-445 exam.

  Read more about the exam on my blog:

  I also wrote a blog about the 70-445 exam that I've passed last year:
