hi,

think its time to complete my MCSA

would 3 months for the 291 be realistic?

plan to buy CBTnuggets as the main tool, Learnkey to fill in the gaps and have 2 pc's. Both as 2003 server R2 and a virtual pc running XP as the client ( or maybe just use a server terminal session as client)

need a light read too but my concentration with books is VERY limited, prefer hands on

any thoughts?

As everyone said on this board when I asked this same question:

Everyone has their own method/time line of studying. I'm giving myself 6 weeks to prepare for this exam.

Testout has been fantastic!
Syngress is a great book to supplement it with.
and to finish off: MCSE Core exams in a Nutshell.

Sounds ok. Depends on how confident you are with the topics. DNS and RRAS being the main topics if I remember rightly.

I found the big blue a big help with this one too. Also the practice questions on this site were great. The nuggets are also a fantastic resource although Mr Conrads teaching of custom subnetting didn't help a great deal as he uses the Sci Calc and I didn't get one in my exam.

Good luck with your studies!

In my opinion hands on is the best thing to do to pass this exam.
