I normally use the book and question CD to get through a Microsoft SQL Server exam, so far they have all been very good at matching the content of the exam. However, I studied using the SQL Server 2008 Implementation and Maintenance Training Kit and although I thought it was a good book, it didn't really match the exam. For example I had a couple of questions on Reporting Services. And in the book, it has a 1 page overview on this topic.
I managed to pass though and am relieved to have done so, I had a free second shot voucher, but further revision wouldn't have solved my knowledge gaps as the book wasn't that relevant. And this is very disappointing. Let's hope this is because less effort went into the 2008 certifications rather than a future trend. I enjoy the certification process and didn't enjoy this one. It made my revision feel pointless. Rant over.
