How hard is this test, really.

I work with XP Pro all day long. Is this test really that hard? I see a lot of people failing but wonder do they ever work with XP Pro? I was going through a practice test last night and did pretty well the first time through. Naturally there were answers to question I thought were right and missed but overall was close to a passing score my first time through. I am planning on studying for a few weeks and sitting this exam.

I am currently MCSE NT4, A+ and N+ certified and wanted to get a few more certs under my belt. While scouring the WWW looking to see if I should upgrade my MCSE I think I am going to take this route in this order.

MCSA
70-270 XP Pro
70-284 Exchange 2003
70-290 Server 2003 Environment
70-291 Server 2003 Network Infrastructure

CCNA
640-801

MCSE
70-293 Server 2003 Network Infrastructure
70-294 Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure
70-297 Designing Active Directory and Network Infrastructure

I originally was just going to take Exchange 2003 just beacuse we use it and wanted to learn more which is why I'll take that early and just get the MCSA while I work on other certs/exams.

Just one thing, CCNA is 640-801. Ehehehe.

About the 70-270, it should be fairly easy for you.

I thought MCSE NT4 counted as an elective for the MCSE/A 2003!

It does, I want to take the Exchange test for personal satisfaction and knowledge since I haven't administered Exchange in several years and plan on moving to our sys.admin team. That will also get me to the MCSA Level while I attack other Certs and work on getting to MCSE 2003.
