Take 70-218 before 70-217? 1

[9impala6ss]

Well, I passed the beast today!!!(70-216). Which test is recommended to take next? It looks like the 70-218 test is the next logical one since the forum says it is mostly DNS, DHCP, etc. (mostly network stuff). While the 70-216 knowledge is still in my mind it seems like 70-218 is the one to take. Good move or not?
BTW, I did not have ONE subnet question on the test or had to use any kind of subnet knowledge to answer a question. All that bit twiddling was nice to know but not needed on the test I just took. Lots of DNS, RRAS, DHCP and CA stuff.
210 and 215 are out of the way.

my guess from folks who seem to know is take them in order... 210, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219.... they sorta build on each other (at least in that grouping)...

I took them all in order. From my experience I took the 210, 215, 216, 217 and then 218.

To me 218 was by far the easiest exam out of the whole lot as it was like a revision of all the other 4 exams.

IMO the 217 test is much harder than the 216 test. I did not take the 218 as I skipped the MCSA thing and went from 217 to the AD design course.

Guess I didnt answer your question huh?

If 218 is a review of 216 and 217 then I would go 217 first.
