Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA)

I have been learning for Microsoft Server 2003 exams 290 and 291 since before Christmas. I have been revising solid for the last month, all weekend and most nights until midnight! My eyes even went red! Anyway I passed both exams this month! I can now call myself a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA). The first exam I passed with 942/1000 the second I passed with 952/1000 the pass mark is 700. I'm having a break from learning now, I'm going to take a month off from learning, then I will start to think about the exams I need for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE). My wife has been very supportive, I haven't taken her shopping for weeks. I have to take her shopping on Saturday!

I worked very hard to pass three Microsoft Exams last November and December, the certificates have arrived! Bill Gates even signed them, OK maybe not personally, but I have two certificates (electronically) signed by the richest man in the world! Only 36,360 other people world wide have a Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) Windows XP certificate. I'm learning to become Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA) certified next......
