My test for the 70-236 "Configuring Exchange 2007" exam is tomorrow afternoon.

So just to be sure, I took the practice test one more time.

Still "passed", with an 87% - mostly different questions.

On a related note, since I have changed my plans to take the 3 remaining exams by the end of January, I think I will be investing in the Microsoft e-Learning courses for the exams. They're a few hundred dollars each, but should be faster to work through.

I also have the books as well, but reading them all will take longer, I think.

The e-Learning courses are:

• Collection 5095: Designing the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Infrastructure (12 hours) $191.99
• Collection 5098: Deploying the Microsoft Exchange 2007 Infrastructure (10 hours) $159.99
• Collection 6425AE: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Services (20 hours) $319.99

  Total: $671.99

Each collection has a number of courses, each 2 hours long - 6 in the first, 5 in the second, and 10 in the last one.

I figure for 42 hours worth of training, I could do that in one week - but that would be 8 hours a day, and I'd get burned out too fast.

If I only took one 2 hour course per day, that's still 21 days - a full three weeks.

If I took 3 hours of courses per day (1 & 1/2), that's 14 days - better.

If I took 4 hours of courses per day (2 courses per day), it's only 10.5 days - pretty aggressive, but I could probably do it..

I've completed more than a handful of exams over the past 10 years, but never quite got around to completing the full MCSE track.
