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.

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 »

83-640 will gradually replace 70-640??

Firstly, my answer is yes. However it does depend on where you are and what language you’re taking the exam in.
MCTS 83-640: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory is the first Virtual Lab-based exam, which is part of the MCTS track, an alternative to taking 70-640. Currently available in English only, the exam is gradually rolling out to different countries through 2009. It emphasizes a practical skills assessment that complements the traditional multiple-choice format.
 It will be seen from this that 83-640 will gradually replace the current version of the Exam 70-640 in English .It is said that 83-640 has been rolled out in New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, and Canada. And the candidates in some areas can take either of 70-640 and 83-640, but in some countries in English language 70-640 has been replaced of 83-640. In other countries where 83-640 hasn’t been released, test-takers will take 70-640. Although it’s not yet released in the U.S., to be sure, the new emulation test (83-640) is scheduled to replace 70-640 completely as testing centers support the format.
83-640 versus 70-640:
