Self-Assessment

Based on recent statistics from Microsoft, as many as 400,000 individuals are at some stage of the certification process but haven't yet received an MCP or other Microsoft certification. We also know that three or four times that number may be considering whether or not to obtain a Microsoft certification of some kind. That's a huge audience!

The reason we included a self-assessment in this Exam Cram 2 book is to help you evaluate your readiness to tackle MCSE certification. It should also help you understand what you need to know to master the topic of this book ”namely, Exam 70-215, "Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows 2000 Server." But before you tackle this self-assessment, let's talk about concerns you may face when pursuing an MCSE, and what an ideal MCSE candidate might look like.
