    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone has taken this exam?

    Was there much on manging mobile devices?

    The Microsoft training kit we have covers mobile devices but none of the other training material we have does.

    Being honest if you can spell Vista you should pass this exam its not the toughest out there.

    Anything on mobile devices I think (as much as I can remember and detail as per NDA) is limited to tablet stuff and that is what is specified on the landing page of the exam

    There was only a small bit about tablet PCs in the exam.

    It might not be the toughest exam out there but there are some stupid questions in it. You will need two things to pass the exams a Microsoft text book (or equivalent) and a Microsoft dictionary.

    I used the MSPress Training Kit for 70-620 if thats of any use. Being honest, I went into that exam a bit blind, I just went over basic install stuff and relied on my experience to guide me through the rest

    I don't remember anything about smart phones. The bit on mobile computing was mostly about the Windows Mobility Centre - about "gestures" and a few other settings etc in tablet pcs.
