This morning I went out and took the 70-237 exam, and passed with a score of 741 (85%) - passing grade was 700, or 80%.

The next exam I have to take is 70-238, Deploying Exchange 2007.

I plan to take this exam a week from now, so I've purchased the following e-learning collection from Microsoft to help cover the subjects:

Collection 5098: Deploying the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Infrastructure

The collection consists of five 2-hour courses, at a cost of $159.

The courses are:

Course 5069: Planning a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Implementation

Course 5070: Planning for Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Maintenance

Course 5071: Planning the Implementation of Messaging Security and Compliance in Exchange Server 2007

Course 5990: Planning an Upgrade to Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007

Course 5991: Planning the Implementation of a Highly Available Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Environment

Studying for an exam with only 1 week of time is a tough prospect - this is a subject you have to know very well to begin with - the e-learning courses and the practice tests just help to fill out the gaps.

I've finished the 6 e-learning courses for the 70-237 exam.

• Course 5063: Designing Servers and Message Routing in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Environment
• Course 5064: Designing Security in a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Environment
• Course 5065: Designing an Exchange Server 2007 Coexistence and Upgrade Strategies
• Course 5066: Designing Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Policies
• Course 5067: Designing a Highly Available Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Messaging Environment
• Course 5068: Designing a Disaster Recovery Strategy for a High Availability Exchange Server 2007 Environment

I'll spend the next few evenings taking the practice tests and checking the books for any portions I'm weak on.

With any luck, I'll be ready to take the exam by this Friday or the following Monday.

A few weeks ago I signed up for a Microsoft eLearning course collection to prepare for the 70-237 Designing Exchange Server 2007 exam.

Collection 5095: Designing the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Infrastructure

The collection consists of 6 eLearning courses, at a cost of $191.99.

Each course takes about 2 hours to complete.

So far, I've completed four out of the six e-learning courses.
