70-270. Can be done in four days.

I needed to get my MCP right before starting a new job. I started studying Thursday and took my exam Monday. I used the the MCSA/MCSE 70-270 Exam Prep 2 e-book I had (which incl. SP2 info), the Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows XP Professional e-book from 2001 (2272), the information on this site as well as some Transcender exams. Never touched a single piece of paper.

I passed with a 794 which is not the best score in the world, but not too bad either. I had quite a bit of experience with XP before taking the test so I think that helped a lot.

I just wanted to share this as I'm sure there are people here that need/want to do their MCP from today to tomorrow.

Congrats on the pass

Yeah congratulations!! However i dont think any other exams such as 290 would be as easily passed as that!too much in them!!

Thanks for the congratulations. I don't think I can to the 290 the same way I did the 270 looking at the material. I'll probably study for about three weeks or so and set-up a small test lab. That seems like the best approach.

definatly setup a test lab, prop 2 server's & 1 client would be the best

This is good to hear, as I've taken classes on XP and read up on it quite a bit. I'd like to get my MCP status for job-related activities. Not to put down those people who studied hard, long nights to get the cert. They have my respect.

The windows XP OS is quite different from Windows server, but I hear that the material overlaps. Why? XP supports AD, but certainly doesn't have you configuring it. <_< I see there are technotes on this.

Sounds like the test is harder than it actually is.
