Timescale courses/exams - MCSE 2003

Hi,

Just want a bit of advice really. Work have booked me on all the courses for
the MCSE 2003 and so far I have done two of the modules but not sat either
exam. (In my defence they have been really close together and time is the
enemy). Some of the trainers say that the modules overlap a lot so it may be
best to get quite a few out of the way before sitting any exams and others
say I should sit the exam after completing the weeks training as it will be
fresh in my head.

Just wondering how other people have gone about it - any opinions/advice
most welcome..

Thanks

Kat

you cant not learn enough in just 1 week of course to pass
a exam and know your stuff, what other experience do you
have???

erm.. well I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking! I have never done these
tracks before so I don't know how well related the exams are to the
courseware.

(I have 3 years on the job experience and before that did a 4 year degree in
computers)

I think you would be best off buying some MCSE books on
2003 then taking those classes if you already have a
computer backround.

There are mixed reviews for the MOC courses but I have not found them very
helpful. You will need additional study time and some practice with the
product before attempting the exams. Also, using a practice exam
(transcenders seem to get the best reviews) to test your progress as you
study is a very good idea. Pay attention to the exam objectives and make
sure you are strong in all of them before sitting the exam.

Good luck!
