70-458 == butt kicked (again)

  • I'm really starting to hate this exam, and worse, I know why I keep bombing it...

    The SSIS / ETL stuff.

    I know my learning style is more a "do it / hands on" so practice exams only help so much, but I don't have anything to do with SSIS at work other than some basic troubleshooting for the Devs who actually make the packages...

    So, here I sit, broken hearted...

    Tried to pass...

    But only failed...

    :crying:

  • My background is more DevOps, thinking back to the 2012 exams, it was the installation and disaster recovery related questions are what I struggle with, especially replication and mirroring (bleh!). It helps to have some good practice exams to measure in what areas you need to focus on.

  • Yeah, I'm the opposite. Nearly aced the Admin portion, having a devil of a time on implement DW...

  • I failed this first time around... I hated the MDS / DQS sections.

  • Just failed by a hair...did well on Admin section but only 637 on SSIS part. Glad to know Im not the only one.
