which one do u find the harder one the practice test that
comes w/ ms press or the actual exams?

The prep tests are way harder becasue MS wants you to
learn. They make the prep tests ahrder than the actual
tests to prepare you, thats why they call them test prep.

The new 2003 exams are a joke, they are so easy, I passed
them all after 1 month of studying and drinking urine
crytals.

I have done 70-215 and 70-290. I found the MS press review enginee and
transceder are much harder than the actual exam.

I couldn't agree more about the 2003 exams. 70-293 was by far the hardest
and even it was pretty simple with the exception of some very poorly worded
IPSec and PKI questions. However, I way over prepared for every exam and
spent at least a month studying for each one expecting that the next test
would be harder. I studied so much material that were on the objectives but
never asked a single question on. But I studied to learn the material and
not get the cert since it does me no good in my current position - IT
Director. But like I tell my staff - prepare yourself as much for your next
position as your current one. I used the practice questions in MSPress
almost exclusively. I also read several exam reviews and created very
detailed study guides based on objectives, MSPress material, TechNet
articles and MS White Papers. I believe the creation of the study guides
was my key to passing so easily. I am contemplating making my study guides
available on the Internet (free of charge) but fear that people will just
study them and not "learn" the material and then add to our paper MCSE
problem. I have given them to a couple of friends and staff that are
studying and they are helping them. But I gave them to them after I knew
they read the books and are using my study guide to supplement. They are
not brain dumps at all since they were created before I took the exams and I
have not made any modifications after I took the exams.

One other thing - I have been using 2003 since it was called Windows .NET so
that always helps. I run a shop with over 150 W2K3 servers so I get to
touch the real thing every day.
