Longer than you hope unfortunately. Being that they changed most exams to
simulation you do need to get some hands on experience in order to be able
to answer the questions posed during the exams. This was their way to rise
out of all the paper based MCSE's which became an issue when companies
demanded this requirement & hired employees without a clue.
Unfortunately I see that every day, with one employee who infact did not
know how to manage something as simple as changing from C: to A: in DOS AND
had MCSE status.
Check in your area from places that offer training. You can get training
called "boot camp" which is a hard core learning method that practically
crams knowledge up your butt without lube, but it does the job
Good luck!
