 Where should I start on MCSA?
I am trying to figure out where to start with the MCSA.
I have my A+ and N+. Should I start with the 70-210 or 70-215 or 70-218? I am just trying to figure out the best route to take.
Thanks.

I am right there with ya' coop - I am hearing starting with 215 then 210. 218 isn't available yet, is it? There still aren't any study materials out for it. I'm thinking I might prepare for 210 and 215 simultaneously - not sure which order I'll take them in. Because I have minor anal tendencies I will probably attack them in order: 210 - 215 - 218 and apply my A+, Net+ towards the elective.

Im studying for 210 and 215 at the same time but plan on tackling 210 first since I've heard its the hardest of the two

 Where to Start!!
 I'm slightly different on this one:
215, 210 (Study together) then 218
Each to their own!!

Read!!
cross36 if you read the original post coop stated that he/she has completed the A+ and N+ if you read things instead of going to the "dumps" these two exams count as the elective therefore you do not have to complete 216 unless you move up to MCSE.

Here is the Official Microsoft Web-Site:
http://www.microsoft.com/TrainCert/...equirements.asp
Exam 70-216 is an elective and I would recommend using your two(2) CompTIA exams for the MS elective option, leaving you with the 70-210 (or 70-270 XP Pro), 70-215 & either 70-218 (or 70-278 both are not out yet)!
You should wait on the 70-216 exam as it is a "bear" -- ie high failure rate like the 70-240 accelerated exam was for MCSE NT 4.0 folks!
