Practice computer with MS 2003 Server Evaluation Software This means the Pimpenator is using the lowest budget but doesn't compromise success. Some people say "How can he do it?" The answer is "patience and techexams.net" Therefore the Pimpenator has devised a study method which ensures functionality and scalability. The Pimpenator uses low budget study options because of his awareness of "bang for the buck". The Pimpenator would love to use video training but has low budget. The Pimpenator may ditch MS Press books after he completes the core exams. He wants to test out the "worthiness" factor of MS Press. He feels they will offer quality material otherwise he would not choose to use them in the first place. If someone feels they have a more low budget way to pass the MS exams let me know. I feel CBT, Transcenders, and prep software is great but many times too expensive and even unnecessary. Good luck to you, -Ciscopimpenator
