Using Online web resources from TechNet, Webcasts and Microsoft.com as well
as Reading pertinent sections of various resource Kits will give you all the
information you need to properly prepare for the test...the problem comes in
finding all those resources.
The question was asked and someone hinted that only Losers are among those
who, having passed MCSE or MCSA 2003 certifications, still visit and post in
the forum.
I guess the idea of coming back to help those that have helped you is a
foreign concept? Maybe even the idea that since we all don't know everything
there is to know...it's good to drop in occasionally to access current
trends in test results, pass/fail rates, news of or sharing reviews on new
publications ... is also suspect.
Apparently, the only people in the NG should be MVP's and people seeking
information?
Blind leading the blind or waiting, hoping that your question is one that
will be addressed by an MVP...not much for choices? Better to listen to an
endless carousel of complaints about the unfairness of the test, than to
hear actual that others have taken and passed the test. That way you are
relieved of any reason to dig deeper, study harder, get more
experience...better to constantly harp, ask for either a dumb-down test or
lobby for one that is Hands-on, knowing full well the likely hood of the
latter is unlikely to improve either the pass rate of truly knowledgeable
candidates or be of reasonable cost, but it comes off as a intelligent
request, to those grasping at straws.
