Smile New to forum

Hi everyone,

Just recently found this forum so I thought I would poke my head in and say hi, looks like a lot of good help here.

I am working as a network admin for a mid size company with about 300 users across several locations. Made the career change 3 years ago and really loving it.

In the last 4 weeks I have taken 70-210, 215, 216, 218. Passed all but 216, will try it again on Thursday if ready. I have Exam Cram, Transcender and Sybex study guide for this one so hopefully that should get me ready.

Good to have you aboard, Parbreaker.
4 exams in 4 weeks is good going. I sat 210 & 215 within a couple of weeks.
Good luck with the 216 re-sit

Passed

Took the 216 today and passed! That gets me to MCSA, on to MCSE.

It was 50 questions, about 2 1/2 hours. You just need to know all areas of this test. Lots of DNS, DHCP and RRAS.

I think 221 will be next.

Thumbs up

Congrats and nice choice in going for 221 next. I did the same thing and found the 221 exam to be real straight forward.

Outside of getting a feel for the case study format of the exam, you already have the material covered.

Good luck!

Stevenkok,

Looks like you are going the same path I did. Yes, there were two subnetting questions on the test. That was one of my weak points. Like I said, you really need to know all aspects but it seems like they hit DNS, DCHCP and RRAS pretty hard. This was my second time on this one, I think the first one was 60 questions, this one was 50. I used Transcender and CramMaster practice exams. I worked on my weak areas and amazingly on the test actually aced those sections but bombed the protocols section.
