I know this is fairly easy, but what % do you need to pass? Thanks.

Well if you have the right braindumps - they WILL do it (just need the current set) - but don't bother because having your MCSE without knowing anything is totally useless, so don't bother with braindumps.

Generally most of the MS certs you need about a 70% to pass. You should download a demo from transcenders.com or is it transcender.com - anyway they are practice tests on most MS exams. To pass most of the MS tests you need a pretty decent knowledge of what they are going to be testing on. Some areas get very specific...my best advice would be to go to amazon.com and do a search for some books related to your test and read all the reviews on all the books and the people wwriting the reviews generally say the best way to pass the test.

Study, study, and then when you think you have it,study somemore. You have 7 test to take.....4 core 70-210,70-215,70-216,70-217 and a mandatory elective from a narrow pool. I recommend 70-219. Then if you play it smart, take 70-028 and 70-029 and get MCDBA as well as MCSE all in one shot. It is doable,but you need to use a lab,practice with every aspect of the OS and all its nuances and when you finish,you will know you earned thee title. MCDBA'sare now pulling down upwards of 6 figures everywhere,and are more in demand than any other cert. There is a migration to SQL and W2K everywhere. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding employment in the IT field with those certs, but you will get arguements about experience. Here is a clue. There are not many who have experience with W2K,it is that new,and the marketplace has not moved swiftly to upgrade,having been burned by NT4 and it's crappy OS.

Good Luck :)


Edit..........

BTW, out of 18 in my class this year,less than half completed the course,and only 2,myself and a very dedicated young 19 year old, finished the course on time, having successfully passed all our exams by the last day. 4 others completed there exams in the following few weeks and 1 other I am not sure of. Last I heard he failed his last exam,and I do not know if he re took it.

Most every passing score will be 620 or more out of a thousand points per test. Thats a D, but most will say a pass is a pass. That is all that is on your record,the date you passed an exam.
