I am not sure what exacly your point is at least you're working in IT. I think you should just continue to increase your skillsets and hopefully when the market picks up just move on.

well, depends how comfy you feel with things. I have saved 216 for last cause I felt that I would be more prepared after writing the previous 6. 218 is not a hard test, granted I had taken 210, 215, 217 and Server + before taking this one.

I'm just starting to study for 216 but you definately need to be able to do the hands on stuff. Idealy have your own little network to play with.

hi

I have a question, do you think its better to take the 218 first and 217 then, and after those take the beast?

Thanks for your help, and Happy new year

Hi Luisjo, I think that would be your better route, there is no predefined "good route" to take, it's whatever you're comfy with. Personally I choose to take all the others prior to 216 for the experience.

Thanks for all the input guys.
I have been studing for these tests for awhile. I have been using SmartForce software and the Readiness books.
I sent for the 70-216 training kit for some practice and have installed Server as a Domain Contoller here at home for practice and experience. I would like to build another computer to have 3 in home network. But $$ is an issue.
thanks,
kenny
