Best order to take cert exams?

(Exam 70-270): Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows
XP Professional

Is this the first test I should take?

What's usually the best order to take them?

Thanks

 

Thanks for sharing.

I would start with the first one and then work my way toward the last.

Welcome.

 

I'd recommend you to test your knowledge before taking any given exam.
In my case, I went to Client exam, then Server, then Networking and then
Designs.

Hope it helps.

 

Take the exams that you feel most comfortable with the technology first.
This will help you gain confidence (hopefully) and get used to the way
exams work.

 

Hi,

I'm an MCSE instructor. I always recommend my students take the client
exam first, then server. I also don't recommend you go near either until
you have a good grasp of IP addressing and basic IP configuration/routing
on a LAN. You'll get low-level questions in this area on both tests. The
problem with the MCSE track is neither are really taught until the
Implementing a Network exam.

I recommend taking the rest in order, 70-291, 70-294, 70-294. I also
recommend that you take whichever Design exam you are planning on taking
LAST! The Design exams are the hardest, and they also tend to build on
mos tof the knowledge you've hopefully gained in the first 6 exams.

Goo Luck!

Robert -
If you are actively teaching, you should consider applying for your MCT
and/or your CTT! It would be a great cert to add to your alphabet soup!

 

Thanks for the help!

Alphabetical works best.

 

This is probably a good recommendation. I went through numerical order and
had to spend some extra time going back to look at old networking notes.
Good news is that I did pass my last exam for MCSE recently, yeah for me!

 

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (or everyone will want one)
