This book is well organized. I used the book as a reference guide to tap into SQL Server 7.0 's Book Online. Don't depend on any single reference book on the market to pass your 70-028 exam. Your most authoritative source is the Book Online. This book made me to get familiar with the Book Online, and helped me passed the exam.

Exam Questions are more complicated. The questions in this book are "way too easy" and are nothing like what is on the exam!

This book allowed me to pass the 70-028 exam successfuly. The combination of questions and cases presented in this book are very accurate to the exam. During the exam, just reading the question and identifying the pattern with a question on the book was very often, that allowed me to save significant amount of time. In particular I believe that the Troubleshooting area is where this books really shines. I only whish the book had even more cases. I certainly recommend this book as a valid way to check your readiness before you take the exam.

I have little experience with SQL Server 7. After taking a class and reading a book, I then used the Readiness Review to determine whether I was ready for the exam. According to my scores on the Review, I was ready. But the exam I took did not look anything like the questions in the book. The exam was far more difficult than what I expected based on this book. So it's back to studying... both BOL and yet another book on SQL Server admin.

This book helped me pass the exam. Use it together with BOL

I knew this book inside and out, but I still failed the test. The practice exam questions in this book look NOTHING like the questions on the actual exam. I would not recommend this book if you are hoping to pass the SQL exam. However, it is a good starting point.

The book helps with the design of the real test but I did not feel the content of the book nor the practice exams were sufficient for passing.

I have not taken the MSoft test yet, but I have found this book helpful. The book is broken down into sections and then discusses each objective with review questions. It comes with a interactive CD-ROM for testing with your PC. You can also purchase more test through the vendor. The book list several references for each objective.

there is not option to give 0 star so i've given 1 star

I just got pissed of by reading this book

first time i got 600 after using this book i got 400 only (???) at second time
