Question about 70-271 and 70-272

bearfan

I'm thinking seriously about taking these two tests later this year.

Is it recommended to take the 70-270 test first? I passed the 70-210 Windows 2000 Professional a few years ago so I'm not new to the Windows OS.

How difficult are these two tests compared to the 70-210, 70-270 and 70-620 tests?

Hi Bearfan,

I took the 70-271 and 70-272 the last year in the same time as the 70-270, and I can say that the 70-270 is harder than the two others.

I see that you are already MCSE, so I don't think the 70-270 should be really difficult for you, but
For the 70-271 and 70-272, they'll ask you about thing you never do at work, or at home, only to know if you know all the option or functionnaly offered by XP.

For the 70-270, study using Internet and book, It's an OS exam, but you'll found some question about GPO, Domain server 2003, etc.. but since you pratice, it'll be ok

Finally, I'll suggere you to take them in this order 70-271, 70-272, 70-270, I have done in this way, but it's only an advice.

For the 70-620, in my opinion it's not a difficult exam, I should place it between the 70-272 and the 70-270 in difficult level, but You should pratice, because questions essentialy deals about the new fonctionnality, like Bit Locker, New Firewall, UAC, etc...

I hope you succeed !

I would always suggest taking the 70-270 first. The topics covered are more vast and in-depth than the one's in Mcdst. Once you clear 270, u can be rest assured You have over 80% of the knowldege of what is required in Mcdst as a whole. The rest 20% will need a few brush ups with the MS Press and some Hands on Practice Tests.

gud luck.
