Hello, I am Battista. Greatly, I have been certified as MCITP: EA, after passing all Server 2008 exams including 70-640, 70-642, 70-643, 70-680, and 70-647.Trough hard work at this long Server 2008 certification track ,I finally get my MCITP:EA, after the last exam 70-647.
It feels great! And I am glad to say I have my best score on 70-647 with 949.Of course ,many candidates for MCITP once got the separately exam with 1000 without braindump materials .However ,I am satisfied with my scores .
Get down business ,here I just want to share my experience in 70-647 not to show off my scores .I hope my experience will help more and more candidates to 70-647 or MCITP :EA out .

Nobody can not pass MCTS 70-646

When I received my transcript, it was hard to believe I had passed Server 2008 exam 70-646 with 875 scores .Since I passed Microsoft exams to become an MCSE on NT4,it has been a long times. Because many of MCSA or MCSE exams are retired, to keep pace with the latest technology and upgrade the old MCSA/MCSE 2003, I had to pursue Server 2008 Certs on Server Admin and Enterprise Admin. So,I started from 70-646 of MCITP exams .

I am a manager of my company .I just could study my 70-646 materials over the part time.I thought I could not pass this exam just once .I had planned to take the second shot.So, I think nobody can not pass 70-646, if you learn your materials in the right way. Here I share my experience, which aims to help more and more people like you and me out.

MCITP/MCTS better than MCSE 2003 ?

Long time ago ,we talked about the post : MCSE/MCSA has timed out ,which consider many of MCSE/MCSA exams have been retired and the new technology and server 2008 exams have been published .With the new technology more and more popular ,that post think MCSE/MCSA should move forward. However, MCITP /MCTS on server 2008 really are better than MCSE 2003 credentials? Many of windows XP users refuse to upgrade XP to Vista。Server 2003 users also maybe refuse to use Server 2008.
Recently, I have gone through many forums and MC site on this subject. I found that many people did not know they should choose MCSE 2003 or MCITP/MCTS, and whether they should upgrade their MCSE 2003 to Server 2008 credentials.

 Firstly, in my opinion, to pass 70-620, the key is to not only you should know how to prepare 70-620, but also that all you need to pass the exam is MSPress book on the 70-620 plus the measure ups that come with the book which is about 90% of what you need to know and some basic everyday usage of vista and your good to go. More importantly, we should know the hardest topic on 70-620 exams .So; let’s look at the following roll. .

You‘d better give up hardest upgrade exam 70-649

Generally speaking, we have two paths to upgrade MCSA/MCSE 2003 to MCITP: EA. (more detailed information, you can see this article “How to Upgrade MCSE/MCSA 2003 to MCITP/MCTS”)
It is known that if we want to get the MCITP: EA by taking upgrade exams, we are required to pass three exams: 70-649, 70-620 or 70-624, 70-647.
 When we ask those of you who have done the MCITP: EA:”Which of the exams you thought was the most difficult?”, we always get the same answer- I have done the 70-620 and the 70-642 which I found easy enough, 70-649 is hardest.
The advice from those experiencing 70-649 exam is that you’d better give up 70-649, and take the other way to upgrade your MCSE 2003. Read the rest of this entry »

Best way to Upgrade from MCSA 2003 to MCITP SA

If you want to upgrade your MCSA 2003 or MCSE 2003 to MCITP, which upgrade path would you like to choose? Take the upgrade exams, or take MCTS server 2008 exams?
Maybe some candidates for MCITP SA don’t know how to upgrade their MCSA 2003 or MCSE 2003 to MCITP SA.So, we’ll list the upgrade paths to MCITP, if you have known these, and you can skip this.
If you want to upgrade MCSA 2003 to MCITP SA, you have two choices.
1. Upgrade exams for MCITP SA .You know ,if you pass exam 70-648 ,your MCSA on windows Server 2003 can be upgraded to MCTS credentials(MCTS :Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration and Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure configuration).That is to say, upgrade exam 70-648 is combination of MCTS 70-640 and 70-642 .So ,generally speaking ,70-648 is harder .After your passing 70-648 or getting both of MCTS credentials ,only if you pass 70-646 ,you will get your MCITP :SA (Server Administrator on Windows Server 2008).
2. Take MCTS sever 2008 exams instead of the upgrade paths. That is to say, you can take any order of 70-640 and 70-642 exams to get the above two MCTS credentials. In my opinion, this way is easier.
Which way would you prefer?
Personally, the easier route would be to just do 70- 640 and 70-642 exams individually. Upgrade exams are always harder! The upgrade exam 70-648 is combination of 2 exams and far harder than the individual exams. Unless you have enough experience on the technology Windows Server 2008, you‘d better not take 70-648 instead of 70-640 and 70-642.So for me it wouldn’t have made a difference if I did the exams separately from a number of exams point of view.
There are several reasons below:
1. When you study the 70-648 upgrade exams, you can found most of materials including MS Press books for 70-640 objectives or topic area very vague and a bit lost.
2. To pass 70-648, you have to pass each section of 70-640 and 70-642,As each section is basically an exam on it own right ,otherwise you’ll fail the whole exam. Generally speaking, if you want to pass 70-648, you should have the ability to pass 640 and 642 exams. If you have trouble studying for basically those exams at the same time, you’d better give up the upgrade exam and study for the individual exams, which will help you concentrate on one set of objectives rather splitting you between the two.
3. To get MCITP :SA ,We can get to know it is unwise to take 70-648 ,from those who had experiencing on upgrade exams.Generally speaking ,Many of candidates with MCSA 2003 would try the upgrade exams three or more times to pass 70-648.
So, in my opinion, the easiest route to get MCITP is to take the exams separately for those with MCSE 2003 or MCSA 2003
