4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly Good for 70-441 Review, April 26, 2008
By J. Ipock (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book really helped me prep for the 70-441 exam. I managed to pass it the first time. One thing the book itself doesn't really mention is that the exam questions are all case-study related, with "best answers" needed (when to use stored procs vs UDFs), not trivia-related issues (what stored procedure to call an when). The book could be improved somewhat to gear more for this test format.

The practice tests in the book CD are case-study related, but I still found them asking more questions that are trivia, as opposed to best-fit answers. Fot those, I recomend Transcender practice exams.

2.0 out of 5 stars Superficial and Spotty with a buggy Test Engine, February 9, 2008
By Joseph Hatfield (Rockville, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this book initially to supplement my study for the 70-441 exam.

Unfortunately, each chapter was very short and had only a few review questions, and the topics were presented in a very detached and superficial manner, as though someone had simply summarized the online documentation without truly understanding it.

The practice test supplied on CD did have more questions, but the test engine itself was buggy and hard to use. For exampe, you can configure the engine to generate a test on specific chapters and with a time limit, say 10 questions from chapter 5 with a time limit of 30 mintues, but it would just ignore your criteria and simply give you all 191 questions with no filtering and no randomization of the questions.

After a couple of frustrating weeks, I realized the book wasn't helping me understand the material so I switched to the Sybex book by Victor Isakov, and I'm so happy I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for SQL Server 2005 Self-Paced kits, January 24, 2009
I've read all the books for SQL Server 2005 Self-Paced training kits, and this is the best one. Very well written, so it's easy to read and understand the concepts that are passed. I recommend it!
