CBT Nuggets 70-642 Any Good?

krusty83uk

Hello,

Has anyone used CBT Nuggets for the 70-642 exam?

If so did you find them useful?

I am using the MS study guide and sticky notes from this site for study.

I havent used training videos before but I do like the idea of them and after watching a CBT sample I feel these would help me.

I am open to recommendations if CBT Nuggets are not the best.


Thanks in advance

I have not watched a CBT that did not help me or teach me something I didn't know.

I've used both CBT nuggets and Trainsignal for exam prep. In my opinion CBT Nuggets is far superior. The monthly subscription is a great deal too.

I was looking at the monthly subscription deal!

I did read that trainsignals dropped the ball regarding server 2008 exams.

I think saying that TrainSignal "dropped the ball" would be a gross overstatement. I have used both CBT and TS' products for the MCITP:EA track and I have found that they both have areas which may need a little polishing.

I don't want to re-hash the TS issues that were mentioned in another thread, especially since they have been corrected. But I would recommend both TS and CBT to anyone who is pursuing either the SA or EA certifications.

for this exam (and for all the standard 2008 exams) cbt nuggets is better. Trainsignal is ok but doesnt cover all exam objectives.

I have used TS and CBT for previous exams and have found CBT to be better; that being said I have tried to take an exam using only CBT (70-293) and failed miserably. I also used CBT to study for my 70-648 upgrade exam, however I would never have passed using just CBT- I also read the MS Press book.
Basically I am saying- the CBT Nuggets courses are a good supplement to the books, as they give you a visual reference to the various objectives you are studying, but I don't think there are too many exams you will ever pass just using CBT or TS.
Also in my opinion the Microsoft E-learning courses are better training aides than both CBT and TS, for around the same cost (not compared to monthly subscription of CBT; I wish e-learning had monthly subscription)
