290 beore 270 or 210

According to Mr Micheal Myers book, Network + Passsport, he states that you can do either 210 or 270, before or after server 2003, what do other people think of this?

Most people do the 290 after the client exam. But of course you can do it any way you please.

I saved 70-270 for last on my MCSA track. Since a lot of things overlap from 70-290, it was even "easier". It was nice to be heading in for that last exam, and thinking: "All I need to do is pass this test, and I'm an MCSA. I'm so glad 70-291 is behind me." And believe me, having gotten 70-290 and 70-291 out of the way was a BIG relief, going in for the XP test.

slow hand has a point that would be an ideal situation - but i , like most, have done the 270 first. for me there was no real reason its mainly because i work withit the most whereas i dont with the 290 / 291 side. so i thought i would study and take the exam and i passed on thursday. no wmy situation is to whether to take 290 or 291 first. so whatever rocks ur boat i guess. either way you have to attempt all the exams one way or another!

Strongly agree...I too will be doing 270 last. Working on 291 currently. I find that it helps me to put things into perspective because I know the server aspect of the environment.

I did 270 first and glad I did.

Studying for 290 now and there is a ton of overlap...allows me to focus on only the areas that are new.

I did it 270-290-291, I found 50% of the material on 290 is from 270, 291 however is quite a lot of new stuff.
