LOTS OF VALUABLE AND USEFUL INFORMATION - FYI & FAQ

Great Exam Preps. - Microsoft Skills Assessments are FREE.

These assessments are like mini certification tests. You
can take as many assessments as you need or want to and
there is no cost. You can find these Assessments at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/assessment/default.asp.
If you need help, you can also find excellent free
detailed Q&A support for these assessments at:

These assessments are maintained by Microsoft to insure
they are current with today's technologies. Industry uses
these assessments to measure your skill sets, so
completing them successfully is in your best interest.
Certified Professionals are also being asked by industry
to complete these assessments to verify their credentials
are current. Don't wait until you are asked, stay ahead of
the curve. Do the necessary assessment now. At your
discretion, Microsoft records and password protects your
results, which are then available via the internet for
you to present to your colleagues and industry.

OTHER INVALUABLE RESEARCH INFORMATION

Certification exams typically cost $125 US. If it is
necessary to retake a certification exam you can "Get a
Free second shot" at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/offers/2ndshot/. Do
not take more than one exam on the same day. This is a
recipe for failure. The sequence you take exams in is not
important. Set the sequence that is best for you. It will
benefit you to lightly peruse all manuals you may have
related to your certification efforts to get the bigger
picture but when you are preparing for an exam focus on
material specific to the exam.

who better to supply training material? You can view
