this guy has a great attitude! I wish I saw more that would set their
sights on the bottom rung like this. Ed, you're ok in my book and I think
you'll go far. You will likely get to those higher rungs. Congrats...

Ed,

Thanks for your reply on the "Design Exams" thread
below... I'm still not sure... but I think I will probably
go for 70-219 as my last exam.

I've just passed 70-224... Its the only exam I failed and
had to retake... in the end it took me 3 months to revise
and pass the test (I built from scratch a small exchange
org with 2 routing groups etc etc). I used the MS Exchange
2000 book by Kay Unkroth... this book was really hard
going... the information is there... but the delivery is
very plain.. I prefer the Mark Minasi... learn.. but have
a bit of a chuckle while your doing it approach. I also
used the MS Readiness Review... which was OK. Both times I
took the exam there were only 45 questions... I thought I
did pretty good on my first attempt but got just under the
700 pass mark... All I can say is dont take the exam until
you are really confident... My problem was I passed five
exams in a row and got over confident.. and rushed through
the exam. Think of it this way... on a 60 question exam
you get say 10 questions wrong (and pass)... on a 45
question exam you get 10 questions wrong and the outcome
will be different! (I'm not sure if this is actually what
happens... but if you revise with this in mind you should
be fine) Good Luck. Ant

Great job, keep up the good work. Glad to see a new person who
looks at the IT world realistically. Hope to see you around the NG.
Study hard and good luck with #7.
