Yeah it isn't that easy, it does take work.  I agree, its funny to hear and
see
the amount of people who want to take this track of courses.  When in
reality 80 percent fail the first exam more than once? Or something like
this, not sure exact figures.  There were a couple of exams I sweated on,
but most of them were too easy I thought.   But this is mostly due to
microsoft's
ambigous ways. Ah well. I have heard of this one guy he cheated 4 times, and
all
four times he failed.  Meanwhile the testing center knew he was cheating,
cause they
watch you, and called sylvan prometric.  They asked "what should we do"?
Sylvan
was like, "don't say anything when he fails, but when he does finally pass
bust em"
I thought this was great! Anyways the 5th time he took it, sure enough he
wipped
out some sort of cheating card or something, and they caught him, he was
pissed
needless to say, and I do believe he stopped pursuing his MCSE after that
point.
Can you believe it? Someone who fails a exam more than once in my book
should
pack their bags. Man, I tell ya.
