I know how you feel.

I've taken MCSE classes, read the MOCs and books for others, took more MS classes (non-certification specific) and I'm still not certified.

From what I got out of that article was the boy just did the one test on Feb 12, the 70-210. I know that's a lot for an 8 year old but an MCP is a far cry from an MCSE. I didn't see anything about the kid passing 7 MS exams, just the one. Why did they call the kid an MCSE when all he did was pass the one exam? Did I read the article wrong? I read something about them wanting to contact guiness because they'd like to get the kid posted for being the youngest to get "a" MS certification.

Those are the exams their talking about which is only one as is mentioned above. It's the exam for the 70-210.

Still pretty amazing though considering the kids age and that he just started talking 4 years ago.
