Does anyone know if the MS Press books adequately prepare you for the 70-271/70-272 exams, or, are the E-Learning courses the best way to pursue the MCDST cert. Unfortunately, finances are a HUGE issue with me, so, I don't want to spend the money on training that isn't necessary. I am employed as an IS Tech in a Server 2003/XP shop, with over 20 yrs PC experience (self taught). Any other advice on achieving certs(samples tests, test strategy, etc.) I could glean here from my new gurus would also be most appreciated. Again, thank you all. PS what style frame does a cert look best in (hehe)?
