Help choosing elective
|

| Hello all:
I've already passed 210/215, and am taking 218 next week. I'm very comfortable with the exam material, so instead of focusing on how much I suck at test-taking, I thought I'd start looking ahead to figure out what my next step is.
I had initially planned on MCSE, but I decided to go for the MCSA first so I felt as if I was progressing instead of taking exam after exam after exam...
So now I need to figure out which elective I should take to complete the MCSA. I'm contemplating either 224 (Exchange) or 228 (SQL). I have a lot of experience with SQL Server and only a little on Exchange. However, the SQL exam is on SQL Enterprise, and I've never used SQL Enterprise, only Standard. Does anyone know if that really matters or not?
Short of either teaching myself Exchange or hoping that the SQL one covers stuff I already know, I could try re-taking 216, since I'll need to pass that to get MCSE anyway.
Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
I appreciate it

| see what free guides and questions you can get on the sql exam and assess if there is much difference tween enterprise and standard editions  | |

| Go for the 216, it will have to be conquered one day, so best to do it now. | |

After thinking about it a lot last night, I pretty much decided to do exactly that, for exactly that reason.
If I plan on moving up to MCSE sometime in the near future (which I do), I'll need to pass it anyway.
Thank you both for your replies .

| Good luck to you both,that is one tough exam. It's just like the exam 70-218 but on steroids. | |

| if you read the 218 on steroids could you pass 216? | |

| I was contemplating putting off 216, but i've decided to face it now! Good Luck |
