    What's New @ MC MCSE:
    70-270 Practice Exam
    We have launched a free practice exam for Windows XP Professional that can be found in our Testing Center. In addition to explanations, this exam includes web references for you to learn more about the subject of the question. More questions to be added soon!

    New A+ Tutorial
    We have added a new tutorial titled Cables, Connectors, and Technologies. This tutorial focuses on the various cable and connector types that you will need to be familiar with for the A+ hardware exam.

    70-270 Study Guide
    We have completed the printable version of our Windows XP Professional study guide. Click here to check it out. Please note that this is a large file and will take some time to download particularly if you have a slow connection.

    Cisco to Retire Routing Exam 640-603:
    Cisco's web site states, "As of September 13, 2002, BSCI 640-901 will replace the Routing exam (RTING 640-603) for CCNP and CCDP certifications. The Routing exam will retire. Individuals registering for the Routing exam on or before September 13, 2002 will be able to take that exam through October 25, 2002."

    This comes as somewhat of a surprise given the fact that Cisco put considerable effort into revamping this exam only a few months ago.

    For more information about the new exam, click here.

    CompTIA to Develop Wireless Certification:
    CompTIA recently announced that they will be releasing a new vendor neutral certification for wireless technologies. Our guess is that it will be called Wireless+.

    This new exam will likely be available in 2003. For more information click here.
