What is the Best way to Study for the MCITP Exam?
June 11th, 2009 | 
Author: A successful pass in a MCITP Exam is not difficult to achieve if you have studied to the best of you ability. I have personally sat a number of MCITP Exams myself and have achieved definite passes in all first time. All study for an MCITP Exam should be based around a MCITP self-paced training kit. These kits are made up of study books and are published by Microsoft themselves, so you can be pretty certain that they will cover the entire curriculum which is covered over in the MCITP Exam itself.
These MCITP Self-Paced Training Books are organized in two halves, with the first being “Learn at Your Own Pace” this first part is dedicated to teaching your all the required subject areas. This part is organized in such a way that each specific toping is in its own chapter and are in a logical order for learning. During each chapter the will be practical learning sections, where you actually explore and configure what you have just learnt in a windows operating system. Each chapter has review questions at the end to test your understanding of what was covered in the chapter.
The second halve, “Prepare for the Exam” prepares you for the exam by introducing case studies and asking questions which require you pull all your previously learnt knowledge together and producing an answer. This section of the book is so important as it helps you carefully read questions and think outside of the square in some instances which prepares you for whatever you might encounter in the MCITP Exam.
I suggest using a free piece of software called VMware which allows you to create and virtual computer to install the windows server operating system on for you to do each practical section on. Some MCITP Self-Paced Training Books require to have a few different servers all networked together, VMware makes this job a piece of cake, and it’s free too!
Why should I get MCITP Certified?
Hi,
Is it essential to get a training from the training center, colleges etc or i can perpare by going through the training kit.(The Training centers are charging really high some of money for it.
Thanks
Hi there,
No it is not essential to attend classes at a training centre. I have personally self-studied for all of my Microsoft certifications and gained pass marks in all first try. If don’t have any time pressure to gain your MCITP certfication, self-study is going to be fine as long as you read and understand the Microsoft training kit book and work through all of the labs. It would also be advantageous to use some video study such as TestOut or CBT Nuggets to recap over all of the exam topics after working your way through the training kit.
