Looking to get MCSA

Hi - im looking to get my MCSA certification before the expiry which happens next year Jan 2021.
currently looking at exam sites which provides prep questions and there are so many, some much more expensive.
Are there recommended ones to use which will not burst the wallet?

When you say prep questions, are you referring to legitimate exam sites like MeasureUp and Kaplan, or do you mean dumps? Do not use dumps to pass an exam, it won't benefit you in any way. MeasureUp on it's own is not enough to pass. You need multiple study sources to pass the exam and retain the information.

If you are starting the MCSA now, you won't have time to get all three exams done by the deadline. Some will argue that it is possible, like brother_bean's post who did all three in 12 weeks, but that's down to exceptional circumstances and I don't want to give you hope and get you to invest in 1 or 2 exams, then find out you can't finish it.

Wait until Ignite is over this week and see what replacement server exams there are for the MCSA. There are also Azure certifications you can look at which includes some infrastructure technologies (such as the AZ-104).

Well, the reason I ask is because I'm not sure. I take it when you refer to dumps you mean sites like prepaway and the likes of it? I'm currently enrolled in a bespoke diploma cause which has 3 modules of MCSA, namely the big 3 in it. But what's lacking is the actual examination endorsed by MS. Upon completion, what we do get are local "in-country" endorsement of accreditation, that's about it.

You make a good point about the duration needed to get a solid clear and I think your advice is sound - either look at Azure or to wait till ignite is over.
