MCSE+S Third Party certs

[odysseyelite]

You are only able to use one third party cert for the Exams on security part, correct? I have Sec+ and was thinking on taking SSCP in May. Can I use both and not take 299?

That's how I interpret it (note the prolific use of "or")

CompTIA Security+
or
SSCP (Systems Security Certified Practitioner)
or
CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)
or
CISA (Certified Information Security Auditor)
or
CISM (Certified Information Security Manager)
