In larger cities, this will be absolutely no problem. One option is to let us help you to finance the cost of your MCSE training. Also, it's not a bad idea to check with local government employment agencies to see if they have any money set aside for retraining. In addition, you'll want to be sure to check with your current employer to see if they may be willing to reimburse part or all of your training expenses. Non-adaptive tests are probably the ones you're most familiar with.
Adaptive tests are a little different.
You start out with a question of medium difficulty. If you get it right, the computer adjusts you score upwards and gives you a tougher question. If you get it wrong, your score is adjusted downward and you are given an easier question. The process continues until the computer reaches a degree of certainty that you can score above or below the pass mark. As a result, adaptive tests are often shorter.
