Hi all

Just passed my Network + today , so have now added it to my A+. Now looking at studying MCDST, my query is this: How helpfull is it to have A+ and N+ under my belt when starting out on the MCDST? can I reasonably expect a shorter and easier study time? Is there any overlap between what I've done so far and what I can expect on the MCDST?

Many thanks (and regards to all on the MCDST forum!!)

 

Both A and N+ will help you in regards to understanding some of the topics in the MCDST they will help you understand how something is working at both a hardware and software level and ofcourse how xp is working over a network this is why the general advice is to get the A+ and N+ before the MCDST

 

Thanks for that guys,
Just one more query: how would you rate the difficulty and time taken to achieve MCDST in comparison to A+/N+?

 

I think I am right in saying this (Ken knows more than me) but officially they are the same level, but it's a step in my opinion but not a great deal.
