Good stuff... Sucks that he didn't think the SelfTest exam was good. That's what I've been using. But the post is really good.

Thanks for this link I have been working on the Upgrade exam for about 2 months now. I started with the 70-423 book, after going over that book I have been looking for matterial for the other half of the exam. After reading that post I feel better that the preparation that I have done so far should be enough. I have the exam scheduled for April 10th. I will report back as to how I do.

I'll be taking mine at the end of April so I am very interested to hear your feedback about the exam. I am really working hard on this exam. Do you have any intention on taking th eBI or the developer exams at all?

I was thinking about the BI ones but I will have to wait and see what my boss wants me to do next.

I passed the Upgrade exam today. It was not that bad. I was worried about not having matterial to study for the 450 portion of the exam. The 450 part was just questions applying what you learned for the 432 exam.

Thanks, Aaron. I am grateful for your input.

Are you going to start hitting the books for the BI exam? Are you doing just the MCTS or the Pro exam for BI as well?

I do not know what to do next.
