Hi,
You can take this exam directly, but it is recommended that you should have some good experience & expertise.
Apart from knowledge via books I would like to suggest go by practical approach.
Warm Regards,

Hi,
Yes, I need some experience in Windows 7 support. The 70-685 based on wide knowledge of network infrastructure and Client support.
You may find that the book and CD are not enought to pass the exam. The book cover all require topics, however; during the exam experience will play its part.

Ok, thanks for this information for now. I got experience in Windows7; by the company and from home for quite some time.
The questions and practices on this CD aren't that difficult for what I've seen now.But I also don't need to achieve other certifications then before going for this certificate?
