Covering Exams 70-431, 70-443, and 70-444, these three training kits include exam prep and practice tests to help you maximize your performance. You get official Microsoft® study guides, plus practice tests on CD to help you assess your skills. They come packed with the tools and features that exam candidates want most--including in-depth, self-paced training based on final exam content; rigorous, objective-by-objective review; exam tips from expert, exam-certified authors; and customizable testing options. They also provide real-world case scenarios and practice exercises for skills and expertise you can apply to the job.

Then assess yourself by using more than 900 practice and review questions on the CD, featuring multiple, customizable testing options to meet your specific needs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you check for the corrections!, March 20, 2007
I have just finished the 70-431 book. The book is fairly well written, however, it is a full of errors! 8 Pages of corrections so far. It would have been nice if the authors/editors had tried the exercises at least.
I don't believe reference books should be like OS's that need a service pack in order to get through the written practice's. A little quality control would have done wonders!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Books, September 19, 2008
By Talal A. Alsubaie (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It was a very helpful book.

I think it is a great book even if you are not applying for the certificate. It helped me in my work, certificate, and personal SQL Server 2005 knowledge.

I would recommend this book for every one who is looking for a SQL Server 2005 book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honest purchase, February 21, 2007
Nice package that includes all you need to pass the exams.

In case you need to learn more advanced aspects of using SQL in advanced situations, perhaps you should choose another book.

More practice questions would be nice.

The book lack illustration and examples. From a point of view it does prepared you for the exams, however, there is nothing new in compared to others programs.
