Dear all in SQLServerCenteral community,
I have just passed exam 70-462 Administering Microsoft Sql Server 2012 Databases also last month I passed exam 461 Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Currently I am in the stage or preparing for exam 70-463 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 as the last stage of obtaining MCSA certification.
My request is if anyone has any idea about "Study Materials" for this exam as I got tired of googling over the internet since 3 days and couldn`t find anythng usefull.
Appreciating your comments and inputs.
Regards,
Hany

Thanx Gail for the response but unfortunately the same result I got [nothing useful]. Actually the official Microsoft training kit will be published later this year on November 1 other than that I couldn`t find any related books.
So if you have any particular links to a specific book it would be great!
Thanks & Best Regards,

Err, Books Online as in the SQL manual...
It definitely does have sections that cover the exam requirements, it's what I used to study for the beta.

There are already some books available on SSIS 2012. For example: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Microsoft-Server-Integration-Services/dp/111810112X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348134557&sr=8-1&keywords=ssis+2012
There's also the free e-book Introducing MS SQL Server 2012 which contains some chapters about SSIS, DQS and MDS.

I've been a DBA since SQL Server 7 and I'm pretty familiar with just about every asset of administration through SQL Server 2008, but I've never done any certification exams until recently when I took the 70-461. I think I spent maybe a couple hours total studying and I passed the test without too much issue. Is the 462 considerably more difficult, or could I get away with just brushing up on some of the new 2012 features? I've already looked into some of the new things like contained databases and AlwaysOn Active/Active.
Things that I'm not very familiar with: MDS and DQS. I get the general gist of them, but it's just never anything I've needed to explore in my job.
