Although 70-270 contains most of the contents of 70-271 and 70-272
but these give more stress on troubleshooting.
I recommend MS Press Self Paced Toolkit for the Preparation of MCDST.
Later on Try Exam Cram 2

So if I pass the MCDST, I should be able to pass the MCP for Win XP ?
How much more difficult is the Win XP MCP ?

If you successfully pass ANY Microsoft exam, you have become a Microsoft
Certified Professional. It doesn't matter what exam number you are taking.

What I meant was if I get my MCDST, and then decide to take the 20-270
exam (to get 2 of the 4 passes for MCSA), is there much more to learn
for 20-270 ?

You'd better clarify that....AFAIK if you pass any OPERATING SYSTEM exam you
are MCP....

Re: 70-270
 

Actually, the MS verbage is to pass any qualifying Microsoft exam. While
some qualifying exams are the ones that test your knowledge of a particular
Operating System, there are several others. Check the Microsoft website to
see which exams are considered qualifying exams at the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mc...spx?orderby=ID

FYI...A boolean search on the Microsoft web site is what found this page for
me...

Re: 70-270
 

To get my MCSA, I was going to use the 2 2003 server exams, the XP Pro
exam and use my MCDST as the elective - essentially 4 exams.

Passing one of the MCDST exams doesnt give you an MCP, both parts of it
count as a sort of MCP, think I'd rather put MCDST after my name than
MCP.......

Nick.

Re: 70-270
 

MS must have messed up when they made me an MCP after passing my 70-271
then!!!!! Stop talking rubbish and try reading the criteria on the MS
website. Pass an MCP exam, of which 271 and 272 both are and you become an
MCP, pass both and you are an MCDST.
