Another good microsoft site is the one devoted to MCP's. If you get tired looking at exams go online and read the MCP Magazine. It has excellent information on a variety of subjects along with many tips on taking the exams and links to other related sites.

I started in January '97 in my quest for the MCSE certification. I have finished taking the needed courses at a Microsoft authorized education center named Software Education of America located in Brea, California. I have studied and studied and am continuing to study. I have passed the Windows NT 3.51 Workstation and Server exams, Windows 95 ,TCP/IP, Exchange Server 4.0 and Networking Essentials. So I finally on August 9, 1997 became a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer after going to class and studying for nearly 8 months. It's a great feeling passing these exams knowing how much effort I put into studying for them. Now to find a job which will be a pleasant thing to do.

Update: As of September 3, 1997 I was hired by a worldwide computer company named GEAC Computers. It is a great working environment, and I am learning and doing everything I had hoped for when I started the MCSE program. All the hard work and study paid off many fold, and I encourage anyone with the idea of becoming a MCSE to pursue it with all your efforts.
Second Update: As of May 1, 2002, I was terminated from Geac Computers as part of their restructuring and downsizing campaign. I will be actively searching for new employment.

As time passed, I have just found out that the Exchange Server 4.0 exam I took as part of my certification will be retired in June '98, and I have till Sept. '99 to take a replacement such as Exchange Server 5.0 or 5.5. I took the Exchange 5.5 (70-081) exam on July 24, 1999 and passed.

More time has passed and my MCSE 3.51 track is on the verge of expiring. Since I cannot take the Win2K accelerated exam I have to basically start over and take 5 core exams and one elective (2 electives needed) as my Exchange server 5.5 still is counted as an elective. I will pursue these tests as I did before, plenty of reading and studying and of course hands on with the software. As of July 20, 2001 I have completed the required exams and am now re-certified on the Win2k track.

If you are going to pursue the Win2K MCSE Certification don't forget to email me about how practice questions will make the process a whole lot easier as it did for me.

If you have further questions, go to my FAQ file which is a composite of comments and questions I have received via email. If your questions are still not answered then feel free to email me with them, and I will try to get back to you as time permits.
