| Took the 270 today And passed with a 921  Wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be. Took me about 40-45 minutes to get through it all. Afterward, I was afraid my score wasn't going to get printed but finally did lol. Thanks for the advice you guys offered in my other thread. The SelfTest software helped very much. |

| I just ordered the books for the 290. I opted to go ahead and get both the MS ans Sybex books (I liked the 270 Sybex book very much). I already have the CBT Nuggets for the 290 (I purchased the MCSA Exam pack earlier this year). After that, I think I may get the CompTIA A+ and Network+ (which counts for the elective towards the MCSA if I understand it correctly). If I feel comfortable enough after that, I will go for the 291. If not, I may get the low level Cisco cert then go after the 291. If I'm mistaken on the A+ and Network+ counting together as the elective please let me know. I read that one MS's site and want to make sure I got it right lol. Thanks again everyone =) |

Certifications: AAS in Computer Networking, MCSE 2003, Network+, Security+, A+ | Congrats on the pass and nice score!
You will come to study much of the same in the 290 exam, but now it's more server side stuff. NTFS, Backups and all that fun stuff will still be there.

| Yea I'm looking forward to knocking the 290 out and then going on to the A+ and Network+. From what I understand those would help a lot with the 291, correct? |

The SelfTest software helped very much. | I don't know what test to take. I have no certifications. I have a bachelors of science degree in management computer information systems. I was gonna take the 70-270 for a technical support position. However, they need experience which I lack. So I am faced with taking the old XP 70-270 exam or just start out with the 70-620. I could take both but I ain't rich, since I can't find any IT jobs that don't require experience. Short story... How has anyone gotten their experience? Also, I am indesisive on what path to pursue: Networking (Windows Server 2008, SQL 200 Programming (Visual Studio 2008, .NET) Database( I dont know) I want a job that will last me a life time. The IT job market fluctuates so I don't want to get the wrong certification. I need help and alot of advice. I was just thinking changin to a boring salesman position. I mean I will always have to study for certs. Renewing certs every 4 years. Thats like being a lawyer. Reading all the time. What technology should I go with? What software? Help a confused college graduate without experience. NO IT jobs for me, only 2-5 day contracts. Also No certs yet. I will spend my life studying technology only if it can make me 60 dollars an hour. so what route should i go? thanks nerds |
