i have several question about the exam regulation

i recently download a file of pdf format containing the information of what
exam is required for passing the mcse 2000 from
http:\\www.pearsonvue.com\ms\mcse\server2003track.pdf
but still i have several doubt:
In the second page of the file(only 2 pages),it show me i have to pass
five core exam and each core consists of 2 sub-exam,for example:i have to
pass test on
both implementation installation and administration of 2000 pro and xp in
one of the course,and that make me feel puzzled and upset.do i have to pass
both of them, or do i have to pass either 2000pro or xp,taking that exam as
an example.
by the way,if i were already sophisticated enough to master 2k pro,do i
have to take significant long time big effort to prepare for xp or 2003

Try http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcse/default.asp
You don't have to pass any "sub" exams, it's one or the other. Knowing
Windows 2000 Pro will *not* prepare you very much for passing Windows 2003 /
Windows XP exams, check the knowledge matrix for each of the exams to find
the objectives and make sure you know those areas.
