The Readiness Review electronic assessment tool delivers randomly generated, 50-question practice tests covering actual MCP exam objectives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Preparation Material for the Money, April 27, 2001

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: MCSE Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation Readiness Review; Exam 7 (MCSE Readiness Review) (Paperback)

For those folks already familiar with SQL Server, this book will fill-in any obvious knowledge gaps when preparing for the exam. It's like the related MSCE Training Kits in that it covers all the required topics, but with less detailed discussions and lab practices. It also costs less and demands less study time to complete.

If you don't know SQL Server and T-SQL quite well this book will not help you pass the 70-229 exam. For example, while the included practice test will get you in the right mind set it does not drill you nearly enough on how to write sound stored procedures, triggers, and cursors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for prep material!!, July 14, 2001

"alecw" - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation Readiness Review; Exam 7 (MCSE Readiness Review) (Paperback)

Questions cover, with excellent difficulty, all areas of exam 70-229. These are the style of questions all Microsoft exams should contain to maintain the credibility of their certifications.

This review is a good heads up on how Microsoft is changing their exams to cover hands on work experience versus fact regurgitation. Very handy sample Exam on CD with Questions randomly generated from the Readiness Reveiw.

A better publication than the 70-229 Study Kit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Really Accurate, March 16, 2003

vbguy "vbguy1" (Springfield, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation Readiness Review; Exam 7 (MCSE Readiness Review) (Paperback)

I had thought that this book and the sample Exam on the CD would be a realy close reflection of the exam content. But whan I took the exam, it didn't seem like that was the case. The book and sample exam seemed to focus on Admin. stuff while the exam seemed to emphasize SQL, TSQL and database design a lot more. I also don't think the book prepares you for security-related questions very well. But it might still be worthwhile for someone who feels ready to take the exam and just wants some practice.
