[quote name='JolietJake']I didn't know there were two tests for the MCSE, what's the difference? And MOC, not sure what that means.
I may just take the software class, pell grant will pay for it anyway.[/quote]
The MCSE is made up of a bunch of tests. When I got my Windows 2000 MCSE, there were 7 tests: 4 core and 3 electives. 70-210 was win2k professional and 70-215 was win2k server. Each exam covers a different aspect of the O/S. (MOC stands for Microsoft Official Ciriculum, FYI)
Then, I sat a few more exams and picked up my MCSA right after they rolled that out (which is kinda backwards, I know), and then took a few more exams to upgrade both to Security specializations.
If you're getting a Pell Grant, I'd recommend using that for college courses, if possible. In the end, a college degree is worth more, IMO.
It's been a very long time since I did the A+, so I have no idea what the software exam even covers anymore. (It was DOS, Windows 3.1-98 and Apple when I took it, but it wasn't hard, as I recall.)
