hooray for the certified!



No fricking clue. I am taking the 2K exams. And as for command lines? That is what reference books are for. Sometimes being certified does not mean you know it all, just that you have enough of the basic knowledge so you know where to look, and what not to touch until you have found the right way to do it in a reference manual.

In other words, Don't be a certified idiot.

OP, you say you have the 4 core, plus A+, Net+, and Server+. A+ and Net+, or A+ and Server+ count as an elective. Have you passed 218?

210
215
218
elective
=
MCSA

You may already be MCSA.

Is there a good qualification (Microsoft-wise) to have on your CV?

Also, does anywhere know of a good place in the UK that provide the MS exams? Thoughts on the price that they'll be?

:beer:

Already been through that, got it. Wasn't real tough, as our company trained and tested us.

good job, for me, 216 was the hardest one in the MCSE batch. it was the only one where I didn't know if I was going to pass after click on the finish button. I got lucky.

lol, MS did "free second shots" up until May 31. One of the tests I need to take for MCSE is 216. I didn't study for it, I wasn't prepared, and I took the test after a hard night of partying. Anyways, I took it because I might as well, just to seat it and see what its like cause I hear its the "beast". My score = 335. Ouch! The next day I took 226(HA websites), w/o preparation, and got a 585.

What'd you score the first two times you took the 290? I failed it and the 270 last week :( Just so I could do the free retake, never took a MS exam.
