70-649 Study Material

Johnny Johnson

I will be studying for the MCSE to Windows Server 2008 upgrade exam soon. I noticed that the MSPress book for the 70-649 exam is outdated, and does not cover any R2 material. That being the case, are their any books that do? Or will I need to actually buy books for (70-640, 70-642, and 70-643) separately? I did see a book that has those three exams all-in-one, which is called MCTS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Complete Study Guide. Has anyone used that book, and if so, is that a good resource to help me prepare for the 70-649 exam? Also, what other materials would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know the answer to this as well, last time I took 70-649 I had only revised using Brien Posey's 'The Real MCTS/MCITP Exam 70-649 Prep Kit' which wasn't updated for R2, and I came unstuck at all the 2008 R2 questions! Luckily the exam centre had an issue, and I was unable to finish the exam, so managed to get a free re-take, which I'm hoping to do in the next month! However I'm looking for decent revision material/books, but when you search for 70-649 most look to be the older pre R2 books!

Yes I think the best path is to get the individual R2 books, I thought I heard they were bringing out an R2 book but I can't find anything in Google about it.
