Im not sure what the £42 is about but i do know that £88 is for the normal people out there...

ps didnt you just pass your A+ today?

 

If you are not part of an academic institution, why do you think you should qualify for the cheaper academic pricing?

 

whoa there just making sure and yes I did pass A+ today-thanks to all who gave congrats and help

 

im just finding it a bit odd you booking your exam now? I mean its tough exam...

 

started reading for 70-270 bout 2 months ago gonna get on it seriously in two weeks but gonna book for june. Do you think this is too soon/long any recommendations taken on board at this stage I am after all a beginner in this

 

June!! easy tiger... its nice to set targets - cause they also put pressure on you to study but to book it now for June could be a bit too far fetch IMO. Like i said before Microsoft exams are tough because you are supposed to have experience even for the XP exam - and the only way to get around that is to build a lab up and get hands on experience while you study. You 2 months into studying - have built a RIS server yet? I can tell you RIS is a major area in the installation section of the exam - and the few things that can go wrong like when the DHCP server isnt running on the RIS server - options need to be configured. Study hard - ask questions and dont be in a rush - passing exams isnt the whole point on this - its gaining the knowledge - the paper just shows you have the knowledge.

Good luck for the exam and shout if you need help!

 

Thanks zimbo gonna hold fire on booking up for a bit then havent set up lab yet but got plans. Had a pop at remote installations in november with uber geek friend but didnt set up the RIS I'm beginning to get a good feel for whats expected of me and have always maintained that I wanted to be competent not just qualified. Ive been offered contract work which I can do on the odd weekend so i guess I'm fortunate in that respect and when I need help this is the first place I'll look to. Been lingering here for a while reading posts and its been beyond invaluable. So anyways I'm jus ramblin now. You should see me back here some time in Feb in the meantime I got a birthday (monday the 29th) and a pass to celebrate oh and the new Zelda game to finish.

 

Just sayin'. The reason they give those discounts is specifically FOR those people. If they wanted everyone to have them... they'd just lower the price for everyone.
