Finally...

... passed the 70-290 test on Monday with 831. Second time around, it didn't feel that difficult. Some of the questions I had were the same as the previous test, I think there were 4 or 5, but other than that, the questions were pretty straight forward. I had around 9 simulations this time around, couple were tricky but others were really easy.

Up next, I don't know. I don't have enough experience to jump into 70-291 but I would like to. On the other hand, I am thinking of going for Security+ this year and get it done since the policy on that exam is changing next year.
Also, I have interest in Storage Area stuff but absolutely no experience or knowledge about it.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

I think you should get your security+ before the rule changes. Plus you can count the security+ as an elective for the MCSA/MCSE.

I agree with the above statement.

Don't really need an elective for MCSA/MCSE because I already have A+ and Network+ but I will still go ahead with Security+. Already ordered Darill Gibson's book today.

Thank you.

I heard something about A+ and Network+ will no longer be accepted as an elective.

I thought that it wasn't an elective for MCSA/E security but would still be ok for MCSA/E
