MCSA 2016 Electives
Are there any electives available to take for this similar to MCSA 2016? If so, what are they? I just took and passed the 70-346 for O365 and remember for MCSA 2012, that was an elective you can take for it.

70-740 failed 605/700
It went a bit better than I expected to be honest, as taking the practice exam that was provided as part of the CBT nuggets package only netted me 32% as far as their scoring was concerned. My background is an AS in IT and coming up on 3 months of professional IT work experience. I have never set up a Windows Server…

Next Certification Recommendation... MCSA Cloud Platform...
Hey everyone, I just passed the COMPTIA Security+ exam last week and want to jump into studying for another certification.

Hi Did pass the 764 exam in January. The score is 741. I'm not so happy with this result;I'm not DBA and administering SQL Server is not my primary responsibility (however I'm responsible for the backup/restore operations); however, IMHO, every sysadmin must know SQL fundamentals; therefore I'm planning for MCSA SQL…

70-698 difficulty overrated ?
Hi, I just wanted to share my experience with you, I certainly don't want to be cocky. 10 days ago I asked for a pay raise and my boss told me that he will accept only if I pass the 70-698. So I started to get into it and at first I was very afraid when reading this forum, peoples saying they study for months and used…

MCSA 2016 upgrade from 2012
Has anyone taken the exam? I have been loosely studying for this exam for about a month. I purchased the voucher, plan to schedule for early August. Along with my studies a buddy of mine is also going for his first MCSA. I've never upgraded an exam so I am not sure what to expect. Is it easier to do the upgrade exam versus…

How long did you study for each test?
Just curious how long everybody here spent on each exam before feeling ready? I started in Jan 2018 for the 70-740, thought I'd be ready to take the exam within 4-5 months. I'm still only half way through my Pluralsight content and my MCSA book. I read one section of the book, then I move on to the Pluralsight doing the…
