I will take second shot at Beast on Friday

THe Beast is slain (700)

The first time was a 598.

After reviewing the material I was not so good on, and reading the feedback of others here, I am more confident on slaying the Beast this time.

If I fail this time, as I have read here, I will not be alone in facing the beast twice and losing.

You certs say that you have MCSA, Sec+, and A+. I thought that the MCSA sec would need an additional test. I only see 270,290,291, A+, and Sec+. Is that all you need now?

Security+ counts as elective for MCSA, MCSE as well as Security specialization.

Check the certifcation planner at the MCP website.

I just checked... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but knwminus is right. Security+ only counts as one security elective. In addition to Security+ you need 299, 227, 350, or 351 as well. Do you have any of these?

According to the planner on the MCP site, only thing missing was 291.

Will see if they change that.

Well now...We will see later on next year because I will have all of those test done soon....

It seems that the information I got the Security+ can be both an elective and Security specialization is true.

I went to the MCP site today and my transcript shows both MCSA and MCSA : Security
