Hi Nance,

Not really sure, to be honest. I think the best thing to do is to use the product! Look through the things covered by the exam at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-431.mspx, and ask yourself if you’re fairly comfortable with each section. When you are (and this only needs to be ‘fairly’ comfortable), then you should be able to easily pass the exam.

But I would always recommend that people just try it first!

Hi, I am studying for the 70-431 exam and I purchased a book called ALL IN ONE MCITP from McGraw Hill/Osborne. It came with a CD in the back which had a copy of LearnKey, there were only of few exam questions and 5 very easy simulation questions. While I found the book to be very dry reading.

I was wondering if you could recommend something I could purchase that had more practice exams and simulated questions. I want something that will really test my knowlege and not just a brain dump type of course. I love SQL Server and want to become a very good DBA.

Thanks
Nance

I won’t share study material with anyone. That would be cheating.

And sorry Sacha – I haven’t heard about there being simulation questions in 70-441. Could be though, as the simulation questions in 70-431 sound like they have been quite successful.

Any tips for 70-441? 🙂
Do you know if there are simulation questions on 70-441, or just (!) the case studies with multiple choice?
