Thats a long time plan for me to get the Microsoft certification done for SQL server 2000. It started in Jan of this year and never ended till Dec 12th, the day i claimed my Certi.
There were oscillations in preparations, many times dropped due to work & ofcourse laziness. Either you need a self motivation or atleast someone to motivate and encourage you for these kind of stuffs.
For me, i have a very bad "Self-Motivation" mind and so, many pending works :) But somehow i realised its gonna be late if i didn't do now, as SQL server 2005 - the powerful version of MS database got released.
However i am not so happy to say iam a MCP. I donno y ?!@#$%^&*()...
