I only used the MS Press Book and I didn't see anything on the test that wasn't covered in it.

I would use kaplan selftest or transcender for test prep too if you can.CBT nuggets wouldn't hurt either

The MSpress book is a really good resource. I would make sure and do a lot of Labs for this exam. All the topics are pretty important to lab so you are familiar with them.

I used the Syngress book for this exam and found it quite useful

I thought the MS Press book was very good for this one too....

I'm using the Syngress book, CBT Nuggets, and info from the forum for 290. The MS Press books are so dry to me, I do realize it is a book for a computer certification. I have MS Press for 291 and I think I'd rather punch myself in the face than read it.

It's not THAT bad, honest

Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration. MSPress does have good information.

I quoted for no reason


Anyway the MS Press 290 book second edition is perfect for studying for the exam BUT you need to do the labs in order to understand what needs to happen and how/when/where/why something must happen.

If you can get your hands on a copy of the CBT Nuggets for the 290 this guy will explain things to you in a different way that may be easier for you to understand.

Then last you might want to practice on practice tests from transcenders or other sources.

Mr.Network

Thank you all for your response, its invaluable

I passed last month with 94% below is what I used and the order that I did my study.

70-290 CBT nuggett watched all the videos without pausing to familarise myself with the topics

70-290 MS training kit book read all the way through

70-290 CBT Nugget watched all the way through somtimes rewinding to go over topics that I needed extra revison or was stuggling with

Transcender practice exams

70-290 MS training kit book covered weak topics shown in the practice exams

More Transcender Practice exams so I was passing with at least 95%

Also when I was reading the books I was using my home lab to practice what I have learned.

I hope this helps
