Wrong version (the link is for 2008, this is a 2012 forum.

I have not passed the test yet but have been studying for it and think this book is really good:

Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (MCSA) (Microsoft Press Training Kit)

I would also take a look at

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 T-SQL Fundamentals[/url] by Itzek Ben-Gan.

This will help a great deal and is good to have.
