Just noticed, I just need to get 218 to be MCSA as I have 70-088 and 70-081 either of which can be used as an elective instead of 'the beast' (216) hmmm food for thought.

have both 210 and 215

That's how I got my MCSA as well. I had passed the 70-088 during the NT track and decided to take the 70-218 after passing the 210 and 215 exams. At the time, I wasn't sure I was really that interested in getting the Windows 2000 MCSE, so I wanted to at least get the MCSA under my belt.

and the 218 can be used as an elective for your mcse too. but you'll still have to get that 216 out of the way eventually

It is nicknamed "The Beast". It is arguably the most difficult exam an aspiring MCSE will take. You need to know a lot of stuff about a lot of things to pass this exam. Hands on is a must for this exam. (imho) I studied for 3 months prior to taking it and passed it. It was the only exam I have ever taken where I wasn't sure if I was going to pass it or not.

Of course all that studying for the 216 did have a side benefit, it made the 221 exam(the designing network infrastructure exam) which I took 3 weeks after the 216, a walk in the park for me.

Correct, one more MCSA core exam and you'll get it.

Got my electives already 70-088 and 70-081

Yes just started looking at the 216 book, wish I'd looked at it before, because it explains some of the things I am weak on in more detail than the 215 and 210 books, and it might have made the 210 and 215 even easier.

will still probably do the 216 and 217 before 218 because I have the MOC core books, and to get the Study books for 218 would mean spending Money

Perhaps enforcer should join the 218 forum.

I think my learned colleague would find, if he frequented the said forum he purports to moderate, I already have been visiting the 218 forum. or is he inviting me to co-moderate it

should a person do the 216 before 218
ruscorp

2003-05-31, 2:01 pm

ghaouf: I'd say do 50% do 216 first and the other 50% 218.

enforcer: What about the mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut?

2003-05-31, 2:02 pm

I did 218, but that's my bag baby! I'm more interested in administration instead of design.

ghaouf

2003-05-31, 2:42 pm

218 is 210, 215, 216 and 217 rolled into one exam.
ghaouf

2003-05-31, 3:07 pm

so i think i will do the 218 as an introductory for the other exams kind of like the net+ before CCNA

Alright guys. I think that's enough for the off topic stuff. You've got the General forum to play around in.

Thanks.
