Quick Microsoft exam Q

[H182]

I'm currently studying for an MCSA and the next exam I was about to study for was:
70-270: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

On looking on the microsoft MCSA website, they have now added a new exam for windows vista, which I could do instead. I guess if possible i'd be better doing this as ovbiously its more up to date. The question I've got is that the XP exam only requires one e-learning course where as the vista one has 3 'collection courses'.

I'm guessing I'd have to do all 3 of these collection courses before I could take the exam, but a training provider I spoke to recently said I would only need to do one of the courses, but tbh I don't think the guy was right clued up. Also, for other exams it will say you need course X AND/OR Y but these don't state that.

Can anyone clarify whether I'd need to do all 3 or not?

You don't need to do any training if you don't want to.

You could rock up to a testing centre and just sit the exam if you wanted to.

I've never done any training for the MCP's I've done.. Just turned up and did the exam.

dunno but the 70-270 is pretty easy tbh just do that one 70-290 and 70-291 are the tougher ones GL though as i've just got my MCSA a couple of weeks ago!

I know I can just roll up and take the exam, but I'd probably fail lol. Already done 290

Might do 270 then the upgrade exam later on once i've got a full MCSA.

Congrats longy.

Well if you done the 290, 270 should be a breeze although the 291 arrghh - subnetting and supernetting with binary numbers lol

Yes, not looking forward to that lol. Already did some binary at college but I forgot it now
