MCSE: How hard is 70-413 exam???

[InfoTechdude]

Hi,

In order to obtain MCSE certification, one has to complete MCSA and select 1 more exam:

MCSE: Core Infrastructure

Exam 70-744:Securing Windows Server 2016

Exam 70-744: Securing Windows Server 2016

Exam 70-745:Implementing a Software-Defined Datacenter

70-745: Implementing a Software-Defined Datacenter

Exam 70-413esigning and Implementing a Server Infrastructure

Exam 70-413: Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure

Exam 70-414: Implementing an Advanced Server Infrastructure

Exam 70-414: Implementing an Advanced Server Infrastructure

or

Exam 70-537:Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack

Exam 70-537: Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud with Microsoft Azure Stack


When I browse through those exams, it seems that 70-413 is the only one that I can approach. It looks like combination of 70-411 and 412 but "on steroids". 70-414 is about VMM and Microsoft System Center plus some 70-411/412 concepts. 70-744 is about WS security(I have SOME knowledge of it). Looks like 70-413 is the only exam that really continues to build on MCSA. The rest deal with other concepts... I'd like somebody who already passed MCSE to give me some brief overview on the exam. How hard was it in comparison to MCSA(especially 70-411/412)??? Any good study materials? I know that all those books are not enough. How to approach this one? How long does it take to prepare for 70-413?

Thanks for any advice!!!
