MCITP: Should I start with 70-431 or 70-443? Please help!

  • Hi there,

    I have been working as a SQL DBA for few years and decided to go for a MCITP certification. However, I can't decide which exam I should take first.

    I know that I have to take total 3 exams (70-431, 70-443, 70-444). I find it more interesting to study for the 70-443 as I've been involved in clustering/log shipping in my current job but logically everyone takes 70-431 (MCTS) first and then go for 70-443, 70-444. Also, 70-431 might be easier to complete and it considered as a complete certification for MCTS. Can any MCITP holder or expert  advice me on this? Really appreciate any response.

    Thanks.

    Syed

     

     

  • I take 70-431 first then plan for 70-443 and 70-444.

    70-431 is quite easy if you do sql 2000 before and it add some sql 2005 new feature (overview/ introduce)

     

    Cheers

     

  • Soonyu,

    Thanks for your reply. I decided to take 70-431 right after my first post. 70-431 is easiest one to complete.

     

     

  • That's good to hear! It's the only one I have left. Of the 441, 443, 444 exams, I thought 441 was the hardest, but I took that last year in beta after only a little time on SQL Server 2005.
