HI guys,
I am new and have just joined today.
I am an IT student and presently pursuing for the final year of our degree. Will any one just advice me that if I want to take a MCSE certification which exam should I start first?
Should I go for 70-270 or 70-290?
Your suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

The majority of people start with the client exam (270) and then move on from there.

Depending on your experience this may be a good place to start.

 

yeah i'm trying for the same, i think everyone starts with 270, so thats where i'll start, i joined today too

 

oh by the way, do u know of any good books I can use for mcp??

 

yeah i agree start with 270 (windows xp). As for book Microsoft Press has a very good book (2nd edition) - thats the one i used..

 

i was also wondering, is it necessary to do network + before mcp, because i am thinking of doing CompTIA A+ and then MCP, rather than A+ -> Network + and then MCP.

 

i would suggest you do.. when you get to 70-291 it will be very useful!

 

No, it's not necessary, but is a commonly recommended path to take.

 

thanx for everyonez advice guyz, I'll most probably use; MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-270): Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Second Edition as my main book and exam cram for revision work, hope it helps me get my mcp and later a job
