| Hello, i am new to MCSE stuff, but i just bought the MCSE books today at cosco (for 120 bucks cheaper then anywhere else in canadian dollars), and I am somewhat puzzled, do i need to take 7 exams to become MCSE?? I understand the first 4 because i got those books (70-210, 70-215, 70-216, 70-217), but what the the other 3 exams?? Or is there more then those 4 books that i have to read??
Thanks | |

| You have to take 7 exams. The reason your set only included 4 books, is because those are the 4 Core exams. You have to take those 4. The other 3 you can choose from a long list. That is why the other 3 weren't included, because there's no possible way that they could predict which ones you will pick. This site's MCSE page explains it well:

| ok, thats awsome, thanks, seems like its gonna be a long time before i get my MCSE, but hell i am only 17, i have time to get this stuff all done. Just one more question, what is MCP and what do you need to get it, i know its microsoft certified profecional, but is it like a little part of MSCE or something? | |

| You are absolutely correct. The MCP is the first step to becoming an MCSE (provided the test you take is part of the MCSE track.) See http://www.microsoft.com/trainingandservices/default.asp?PageID=mcp&PageCall=requirements&SubSite=cert/mcse&AnnMenu=mcse for more details. | |

| You take one of those 4 exams that you'll have the book for and you'll be MCP. There's a lot others, but concentrate on those 4 core exams first. |
