Your thoughts on my completing MCSA 2000 and then upgrade exam - 2

Hi folks,

I'm an old techie who did my 210 & 215 in march 2003. I also did
Networking essentials, 98 and office exams but that's irrelevant.

I'm planning on completing my MCSA. I wanted to know your thoughts on the
following path.

Do 218 and perhaps 214 to finish the MCSA 2000 and then do the 292 to
upgrade to MCSA 2003.

Or should I just do all 2003 exams? I guess my question is will having an
MCSA 2000 + MCSA 2003 give me any more bragging (read resume) rights than
just having a MCSA 2003?

regards,
Vijay Chandra

 

Hello Vijay,

I don´t consider myself an old techie , but I also took
my 70-210 and 70-215 exams back in 2003.

I thought about it and I decided to finish the 2000 track
before starting the 2003. Earlier this month I took the
ISA exam (70-227) and I'll take 70-218 in May...

I guess it´s simplier to take 70-292 than both 70-290 and
70-291...

Not so sure about that statement about simpler taking 292. Looking at
previous posts, 292 is a tough one to crack now (I took and passed it back
in Dec 03 before the current issues with this exam).

As for bragging rights, how about this (does look impressive on CV):

MCSE in Windows NT 4.0
MCSA in Windows 2000
MCSA in Windows Server 2003
MCSE in Windows 2000
MCSE in Wnidows Server 2003
MCDBA in SQL Server 2000

Yeah, it sure shouldn´t be easy, but neither sould 70-290
and 70-291, right?

Thanks for the feedback. I guess that I'll finish my MCSA 2K and then do the
upgrade exam.

Vijay
