Hey,

Having just finished 70-291 and my MCSA I've got exchange 2007 a week on Friday. I'm pretty confident on it, I've just finished upgrading us to Exchange 2007 from 2003.

I'm goign to be studying the CBT nuggets because I thik it's a nice way to ease yourself into the material and then you use the book to be a bit more indepth. So MSPress or Sybex for this exam. I've been MSPress so far for everything except Exchange 2007 because I hear negative things abot the MSPress on that particular exam.

Happy for any recommendations

Cheers

    I used the Syngress book for this one. It seemed to cover all material pretty well.

    Personally I struggled with this exam and read both the Syngress and MS Press. The MS Press book comes up short on this exam.

    Be sure to go through all the labs in the book.

    I have heard good things about Syngress too. The majority says that the book is very informational, but how is the reading? Is it easier reading than the MS Press book or is it a little dry?

    I've been reading the 293 MS Press Book for about a week now, and it seems really boring! With the 270, 290, and 291 MS Press books, I had no problem with, but this book is hard to get into. I don't know if it's because of the actual material on the 293 is boring or that the MS Press book is just boring. Is the 293 Sybex more interesting to read?
