India Training Trip: Day 5 & 6

Not much to report from day 5, we completed the training for the second exam today and I read both books cover to cover. Today (Day 6) I took the second exam (70-290 Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment) and passed without any major problems. YAY! Two down two to go... After my exam we started the preparation for the next exam, 70-291(Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure). ............ OH MY GOD............ So far it has consisted of every last detail you can imagine about tcp/ip, subnets, subnetting, supernets etc and working all sort of stuff out in binary and other mathematical equations. My maths is not that great so this is all very daunting to me, i can follow the theory of it all (just) but it all seems very very confusing.  I am told however that the exam will not be these crazy questions but the theory will apply, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. I have 2.5-3.5 days to prepare for this exam, lets just hope things get more understandable the further we get into this. /me panics :(
