2. There are 2 main ways to prepare for the MCP and MCSE exams.

a. Purchase books with examples and exercises.
b. Purchase a spot in a ?boot camp? or training class.

If you have little or no experience with Windows administration experience, I would strongly suggest purchasing books, and following the exercises at your own pace.

Boot camps are considered to be useful for people with some experience already, and they basically throw you through the training and cover the main topics. There are training options for beginners. However, I?ve seen many inexperienced people waste their money on training because it was too fast paced for them.

3. Top off your knowledge with brain dumps and test exams.

The internet is loaded with MCP and MCSE brain dumps that hit on the main points of the exams.

Test exams are the most helpful. Trancender makes the best MCP and MCSE practice tests. You can get more information at
