Hi all,

I am currently a student and i want to get a Microsoft
Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST). I have no
idea what to do from here.

I am fairly computer literate, and do not have alot of
money, what do i need to do to persue forward?

Regards
Barney

I would recommend you get your CompTia A+ certification first to ensure your
really familiar with Windows OS's and hardware.

www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcdst should have all the details you need
(and probably a bunch you don't<grin>)

"you'd do what, to who, for how many biscuits?"

MCDST questions have a fixed format: The first paragraph starts with
"You are a Desktop Support Technician" and then follows with a
sentence or two describing the environment. The second and possibly
third paragraph provides the problem statement. In the next section,
you will provide your answer. Most are multiple choice but you may be
asked to click on a displayed dialog box.
--------------------
I've used and recommend the practice tests from SelfTest. Go to
www.selftestsoftware.com. They have the look and feel of the actual
exams. Also, the questions are highly relevant.
-------------------------
Until study texts are available, I would recommend the Microsoft
Resource kits.

For the 70-271: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Resource Kit Second
Edition
For the 70-272: Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit
