    You're bold, man. Isn't taking too many exams in a short time span a red flag to microsoft? Anyway, good luck to you with that!

    I generally take 35 - 60 minutes per exam
    my exam history generally stops too many red flags causing me grief, that and who i work for and what i do :)

    As you can tell, i didn't get them all in my down week, so im squeezing them in whenever I'm not on projects
    I thought i would keep you all apprised of where i stand, im doing the Exchange 2010 PRO exam as soon as prometric allow my voucher code to be used again :)

    that will give me MCITP:EA and MCITP:EMA2010 and i will probably go for MCITP Lync too

    Another update, again, moving slower than I like, but work is keeping me stupid busy
    got major scores on both exchange tests with < 4 hours study each

    Since late December I have got almost three MCITPs out of this initivtive

    MCITP Enterprise Administrator
    MCITP Enterprise Messaging Administrator 2010 (as of about an hour or two ago)
    and shortly
    MCITP Virtualization Administrator

    nice to be back in the swing of things, prepping for my FAR 141 written exam too
    might as well try get it out the way while i wait the month or two for my TSA background check :)

    Well done.

    BTW It's not Christmas anymore but then again if you get the other two exams down it may well feel like it for you. :D

    Best of luck.

    Congrats on the movement! You're making me feel like a turtle with how long it's taking me to prepare for the 70-271. Ha... 4 hours for exchange... you're a beast. But I know all the experience is definitely paying off in this case! So TSA, huh? You're not gonna be patting down people, are you? Ha... kidding. But seriously, you doing a general government clearance or is it a TSA specific one?

    Well done mate, I'm all for the 'blast a load of exams in one go' approach once you're at that level of experience and prior certification.

    I have been thinking about the 2k3 to 2k8 upgrade exams for a while now so I might try and bang them out although fast for me will be a month of study then exam, another month of study then exam = MCITP: EA.

    Ry as a virtualisation pro do you feel the MCITP:VA is gaining any ground in the field compared to the VCP? I like the way you can study for the VA yourself without dropping a few grand on a course like the VCP (training budgets in work are zero!)
