Hi,
I've nearly finnished the 1st book and am just revising really. There is
alot of information to take in though. I've been working in a network
environment for 3 years so alot of it makes sense, where as some takes more
time.
I suppose it does depend on the individual, i try todo about 12 hours per
week study, and am hoping to get my mcse in a year and a half if possible.
