Test Name: Networking Essentials
Test # 70-058

Hi all, just wanted to drop a note to let everyone know that I passed the test on 10/14/98 with MUCH help from Brain Dump.

The test is now adaptive, which in my opinion, makes it far easier to pass and lessens the value of certification for us all. There are to many MCSE's on the market as it is, and each new addition cheapens the pot for those of us who bust our butts earning these degrees. All of what I saw on the exam is pretty much covered by previous postings.

I will say that the IDG books series: Networking Essentials for Dummies is an EXCELLENT source for those who are intimidated by dry text. The Transcender tests (as always) are the closest you can get to the real thing.

If anyone out there needs help or advice on the exam, please feel free to drop me a line at [email protected], but please be respectful and do NOT bombard me with frivolous email.

Everyone passing these tests needs to remember that these certificates are NOTHING without on-the-job experience!

Next stop TCP/IP.

Thanks again!

Myke
