Comment mcse is very hard and not everyone can become one (Score 1) 137
I am one exam away from becoming a mcse and these test have questions that have nothing to do with real world situations but rather insignificant phrases memorized int he NT server resource kit or silly word games. The test are very hard and now are adaptive, meaning that they test only asks you questions you can't answer. For some reason ms thinks this makes better support professionals. I am retakind the internet informaiton server exam v.4 and it is rediculous. They judge the test by how many mouse clicks I make in the mmc or "microsoft managemnet console". I was even asked to create a virtual directory and was not told what to name it (one character off or mouse click and oops its WRONG AND YOU DON"T KNOW IT!). I also have to pass 5 other exams for a total of six to even become an mcse. ITs a 6 month thing. With novel its jsut 3 exams and I think its onyl 2 with linux but I could be wrong.
If thats not even more rediculous microsoft wants to make the minimum requirements for an mcse up to 9 exams and expect the students to pay up to 12,000-16,000$ to take classes and 900 for all the exams. I want to shoot them! Microsoft thinks it can do whatever it likes just because thewy claim to own 80% of the server market. They may not treat us like rats. I want to administer and support computers and not go back to a university type class so I can learn how many mouse clicks or answer microsoft specific questions.
