Would not have passed without this book

I am a SQL Server DBA with two years of hands on experience with the product. I chose this exam as my first Microsoft certification. I passed the exam yesterday with the help of this book and the exam simulations included on the CD. Do not expect to pass the exam using only this book, however, the practice questions were invaluable for teaching me what type of questions to expect as well as how Microsoft expects you to answer them. In addition, the short narratives at the beginning of each section contain quite a bit of concise, useful information. Other than the narratives, the book only contains practice questions and is designed to help you determine your readiness to sit the exam. The CD practice test is very close in format to what you can expect when you take the test. If used in conjunction with other study materials, it will serve you well.

Great Review for the DBA

After reading this book and playing with the included practice test you will be in great shape to pass the 70-228 exam. That's assuming you already have a working knowledge of either SQL Server 7.0 or 2000. If you are not a DBA this review will not do the trick.One other note, while the practice test does not include many questions they will prepare you well for the exam. I found them as helpful as any of the more costly test prep products.
