Hey, Jay - if you got 63% first time on the test on the CD you're doing
really well! I'm sure it won't be long before you're ready to take the
exam!

Jay, truly the only resource that will better your odds on passing these
exams is experience. Certifications are designed for experienced
candidates, not for those just starting out. The key is to have
installed, diagnosed and troubleshot the technology you are testing on.
After you get the recommended experience and you wish to demonstrate
your skills, then pursue the certification.

Re: Hello all !
 
In my career ive been a helpdesk technician and third line support engineer
spanning just 7 years. With a lack of piece of paper to let people know what
im talking about im finding quite hard these to find an employer who will
take me seriously. Therefor ive decided to better my oppertunities in the
field and become qualified IT guy. So i totally agree with you Michael
experience will certainly help and im quite lucky to have gained what i have
over the years without that piece of paper.
