Hey Guys! New here and I wanted to ask you veterans a question. I have my CCNA and wanted to tackle the MCSE track. I bought the Core training kit, 3 computers, router, etc...

What I wanted to know is: From an Administrator standpoint I rank anywhere from Beginner/Moderate. If I'm studying 3-4 nights a week at 2 hours a pop do you think I could be ready for the test in about 1-2 months?

Thanks!

Everyone is different. So it's really hard to say if you would be ready in 1-2 months. My suggestion, get all the hands on you can, do the labs and crack the books. Set your deadline, like you say, 1-2 months, but set an actual time limit. (Example, 1st week of October.)

And really, only you can know when "you" are ready for the exam. My first M$ exam, I studied for 6 weeks, 3-4 hours a night, 6 nights a week. (That was NT 4.0!)

Good luck!

I'm working on 210.
I've been studying 2 hours a night Mon through Thu and an average of 8 hours on week-ends as of mid June and I've finished the first part of the manual (approx 600 pages)
The second part is focus-in and exercises.
I do feel I don't remeber everything, so I will have to step back and fix holes.
Damn!!!!



I wish I could take the exam (and possibly pass it ) by the end of the year.... will see, let's hope for the best guys

Seems like I have been studying for the exam for years. Actuality about 3 months. I have read the book, did countless hours of video training. I am scheduled for the exam, but keep rescheduling it.

I am reading the book again, and going to hit up those practice labs. I should probably just take the darn thing.

I'm afraid I will end up the same ways, posponing and posponing in fear of not passing it.... I'll see!

You can always get practice exams to look at before you take the real exam.

It's a lot better than losing $125 for every failed exam.
