Testout, transcender, and the MS Press book are great materials, but the others are braindumps and are illegal. They give the answers to the test, and is cheating. You can check if sources are legitimate or not at CertGuard - Exam Security & Integrity

CBT Nuggets and Transcender are the best resources available in my opinion. These combined with the MS press book should be fine. I think TesOut are pretty good as well but haven't personally used them.

CBT Nuggets in general are great, but they're videos only and no study materials/labs/practice questions come with the videos. I really do like the teaching style of the CBT Nuggets folks, but I would have to say that TestOut beats them out in terms of bang for your buck. TestOut includes simulations, labs, videos, and practice questions. I'm using TestOut in combination with with the MS Press book and so far I'm feeling pretty comfortable with it. The MS Press book is really dry, but meh, what do you expect. If I had unlimited financial resources, I'd pick up the CBT Nuggets videos too so that I could have some slightly more entertaining & fun material to add to my study repertoire. If your employer is paying for the study materials and if money is no object, then I'd vote for TestOut + MS Press book + CBT Nuggets.

Transcender and Testout are legal practice tests. I've never used Testout before, but I've used Transcender before and it is a great tool to use when preparing for an exam.
