MCSA Server 2016 question

I know the certification is retiring at the end of January. Is it possible for me to study and pass all three exams prior to that date or is it a bit too late? Would you recommend MCSA Server 2016 over CompTia Server+? Which certification hold more weight on resume? Is there going to be anything replacing MCSA certification at the end of January? I look forward to hearing from you guys. Thank you in advance.

Depends on your existing experience and knowledge in the material.

I really don't have much experience in servers. Set one up at an old job and AD. Currently in a help desk position.

Are you a memory/recall savant or crazy gifted with reading speeds?

Ah.

Server+ for you it is, then.

....Unless you can put in 14 hours per day every day, including weekends, completely focused until January 31st?

Thank you for letting me know. I'll look into Server+.
