I want to be a MCIPT

I want to become MCITP: Enterprise Administrator (5 Exams)

I have study material for the 70-642 right now. I plan on doing all the exams that get me MCIPT. I was wondering how people usually go about it.

Do most people write one exam at a time or do they do multiple exams on one day? Also is their any overlap between the exams?

Do one exam at a time. There is very little overlap between the exams. The exception is 70-680, which has some overlap with all other exams as it tests on Windows 7 features that work with Server 2008 R2.

The 70-642 is a good enough starting point. Complete that, then 70-640, 70-680, 70-643, and 70-647, in that order. Depending on your real-world exposure and study habits, you will probably need anywhere from 20 hours to 80 hours of study time per test.

Thanks, ptilsen, this is great advise.
