Advice on Elective

pavloh

Hi this is my first post, i have been reading these forums though for the past few months throught my MCSE journey

I have completed exams 270,290,291,293,294 all on first attempt, failed the 297 last friday with 654 was very disapointed, am going to try it again on Monday, 6 case studies!!! way too much to read...

My question is in my workplace we do not use Exchange we run Lotus Domino environment, the path i was supposed to take was doing the 284 exchange exam but i see it as kind of pointless at the moment.

I was thinking of doing the 70-620 Vista exam as my elective as this is something we are going to need to know more about in the near future. Who has done this exam and could you give me aany feedback. Would you consider this an easy way out of finishing my MCSE. Also will this exam give me MCSE??

Any feedback much appreciated

It would definitely be an easy way to wrap up your MCSE. 620 comes off as one of the easier MS exams. A lot of us encourage people to take Exchange or SQL Server for their elective because that will give them a more well-rounded skill set. However, you know your situation best, and if taking something else would just be a waste of time, go with what you feel you're going to use.

Good luck with your next attempt at 297 as well. Welcome to the forums

but will this count as the last exam if you have already done the 70-270 is it only 1 OS elective allowed?

Exam 70-620 can count one time toward a core client exam or an elective exam, but not both.
