  Hi,

  I just passed my 70-432 exam yesterday. I want to start preparing for the 70-450 exam ASAP. I read a couple of posts regarding this certification, since MS Press doesn't have a training kit on it looking for the CORRECT training material. Allot of posts recommended the Pocket Consultant

  http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Server-Administrators-Pocket-Consultant/dp/073562738X/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314692562&sr=1-7

  which seems currently like the best option combined with BOL. I am also looking at SQL Server 2008 R2 Unleashed http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-SQL-Server-2008-Unleashed/dp/0672330563/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314692562&sr=1-8

  Can anyone suggest other options for the 70-450 exam whether being a book, e-book or training videos like CBT

  Thanks

  Hi,

  I'm in the same position. I passed my 70-432 a few weeks ago and I'm studying toward 70-450.

  I recommend getting familiar with the list of skills measured in the exam

  (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-450&locale=en-us#tab2)

  looking them up in BOL and then reading and testing until you understand the subject well.

  You might also want to invest in good practice test from reputable vendor.

  In reality, nothing can replace production experience, so if you can, try to implement what you've learnt in your workplace.

  Happy studying,

  Greg
