Just out of curiosity of opinion, is using an exam prep for the SAT, CLAST, LAW ENTRANCE EXAMS, etc is cheating?

I've passed the 70-446 exam last week!

I managed to score 93% on it while I scored 70% on the 70-445 exam.

Read more about the exam on my blog:

I also wrote a blog about the 70-445 exam that I've passed last year:

Good Luck! 🙂

could you point me in the write direction for some good preperation material for the 70-446 (I was actually waiting for the 70-446 book), but looking at your blog - it could be a very long wait!

70-446 study resources are few and far between at the moment.

Transcender has a Prep Kit for the 70-446:

Cert-70-446

MSCert: PRO: Designing a Business Intelligence Infrastructure by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Hope This Helps,

I try 70-445 book and a lots of book about Data warehouse and it may be good for passing the exam but they do not provide idea behind. Finally I found "Building a Data Warehouse: With Examples in SQL Server (Expert's Voice) (Hardcover)", this one hlep to get better understanding.

If you want to prepare for the exam and really need to understand the concept, this book will help.

Maybe for you it is, but some of us didn't have paid professional IT experience when coming into this field and others have to work for employers who require the cert in order to get employed or promoted.

It depends on the situation of course, but all my computer experience was from my volunteer & play experiences. None of it in the workplace with an official title. No one wants to hire a customer service rep to be a DBA no matter how much she says she knows. So the certs really did help me get past the recruiter's doorstep.

And just because you're certified doesn't mean you don't know what you're talking about. PaperCert syndrome is much less prevelant these days than it was. Especially as MS seems to have woken up and is making people do sims and answer practical questions in the exams. As in "Applied Knowledge". That's something that is hard to cheat on even with a brian dump.
