Best advice is to create a VMware lab, so that you can gain hands on experience. Reading and understand the material from the book is only part of the recipe for passing the exam. The other piece is experimentation and a VM allows you to experiment and produce the labs consistently. Follow this tutorial to build a lab https://youtu.be/lG3vXlo2q7M.

Thanks for the link. I might be able to borrow a high-powered PC from work to set this up. Goal is MCSA Server 2012 then pass 70-743 for MCSA Server 2016.
