THis is all new to me, so hello. I am considering studying and preparing for the MCTS SQL Server 2005 test (Exam website70-431). Can anyone recommend any books and /or websites to prepare? Found 1 book on AMAZON called MCITP SQL Server 2005 Database Administration All-in-One Exam Guide (Exams 70-431, 70-443, & 70-444). Is this worth it? Thanks DB

I used this book and found it very helpful:

http://www.amazon.com/MCTS-Self-Paced-Training-70-431-Pro-Certification/dp/073562271X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201771664&sr=8-1

The book comes with a voucher, 15% off on the 70-431 certification fee.

Good Luck!

Remember, Microsoft offers you a free second shot if you fail on your first attempt now through June 31st.. You must register for the free second shot before you register for the first exam attempt. However, using any coupons will disqualify you for the offer. Just FYI...

Ok thanks, but here's the deal. Ive been working with MS Access for 6 years and dabbling into SQL at work. I know that if I ever need to get a real job , I will need to know SQL. Should I start preparing for this test?
