How much study time for MCSE
|
|
|
| Hi all, have just ordered the self paced books for the core elements of the
2003 Server MCSE and wondered how much study time you would recommend before
sitting the first exam.
I have no experience of 2003 Server but am fairly competent in a pure
Windows 2000 Server/Client environment, albeit in a small business scenario.
Also have about 4 years experience dealing with end user situations using
all OS's from 95 up to XP pro.
I have already received the 180 day trial versions and have a machine ready
for practical experience.
Any help greatly appreciated - but please no comments such as the one on
Amazon.com - 'I read the 4000 pages on a Friday afternoon and passed the
exams that evening'.
Cheers, Gary.

I'd agree with Consultant only so far.
I'd recommend starting with 2 weeks on a "accelerated learning" audio
book course to ensure you sharpen up your study skills and memory
skills.

its about $70.
70-297 and 70-270 are ones I think will take more study than the
others (perhaps 5 weeks)
I'd recommend steering clear of transcender right now and asking here
about some of the free practice tests on the web.
Good luck all the same!

| mine was a pretty broad estimate. it is very difficult to answer that, as
everyone learns at a different pace.

Fair point
I guess what I was getting at is that there's so much more detail in
the 2k3 track that you need to study much smarter than you needed to
for 2k - hence the recommendation on the accelerated learning thing.
