I have purchased all the books to study for the MCSE Win 2000 certification. I am wondering if there is a perfered order to studying and taking the tests? Should I start with server then go to pro? Or should I start with something else?

Any advice would be helpful!

I found it best to do Pro then Server, then AD then Network Infrastructure. As far as electives, definitely do the MCSA exam, that way you will have that cert too with no more money spent. And, it is one of the easier exams.

She's right on the order of these, but there's no individual exam just to get the MCSA though.. Pass these 4 and you'll be an MCSA. I wouldn't have taken them all if I knew I could have just re-taken the 4 hour upgrade test again...

Study for the pro and server exams concurrently.then set exam date about 2-3 weeks apart. start with the pro exam.

Yeah the order is...

Goto a training center and enroll!!!

I tried to do self study. There is alot of info missing from the books you have that you need to know on the exam. MS does that on purpose. The only people I recommend to do self study is the people with MCSE for NT already.

If you are going to self study, learn the ins and outs of all four core first. Every core exam involves all four core question. The Pro exam has more server questions on it than you'd think. The server exam has more network administration questions than you think.

Purchase the Transenders software!!! If you can pass those, you can pass the exam. You have to know why the answers are wrong on the transenders. WWW.Transenders.com.
