Advice need from anyone who have passed exam MCTS 70-433
1. Style of questions - multi choice/case scenarios/ similar to questions found in self paced training kit CD?
2. No of questions in exam to attempt.
I have read somewhere that there will be about 60 questions to complete in 3 hrs timescale.
3. What is the passing percentage for this exam. The training kit shows 70% as pass mark??
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am about to give this exam soon. Please help and thanks in advance!

Never used the training kit, but they are multiple choice questions
2. No of questions in exam to attempt.
I have read somewhere that there will be about 60 questions to complete in 3 hrs timescale.
Pretty sure that varies from exam to exam. Questions are random.
3. What is the passing percentage for this exam. The training kit shows 70% as pass mark??
Pass mark is 700. Max mark is never stated, but assumed to be 1000.

Finally, you should be smart and very careful during the test, couz questions are very artful and you need to be concentrated in what you are reading and how the problem looks.

Passed my exam today!! So pleased with my score!!
My verdict on exam-
Multiple choice exam
Read the Kit book thoroughly and try to understand the basics.
know the material with lots of practice or experience needed
the test practice cd is good. again try to understand and not just try memorizing answers!!
Thats all from me.. 🙂

I passed the exam yesterday. The MS Press Training Kit was helpful but, for a number of questions, didn't go into enough detail to cover the actual exam questions. Also, there was one major topic that both the Self Test and Measure Up practice exams covered every time that did not appear in any of the 50 exam questions.
It definitely helped to go into BOL or MSDN to fill in some detail that the Training Kit glossed over.
One thing I thought made the exam more difficult is sometimes the text is formatted without indents when in real world scenarios the text would nearly always be indented. I mentioned that in the post-exam evaluation. Hopefully they'll think about changing that to make it more readable.

Congrats!
I took one of the exams of training kit and I realize that I need to put in a lot more time, work and practice than I had initially thought.
May I know your plan like how much time on daily basis and how much time overall in months ?
May I know the material which you followed apart from the MS training Kit ?
Did you work with SQL Server 2008 or just play with it ?

70-433 is actually a development exam. If you work frequently on the tsql enhancements introduced with SQL2005 that experience will be helpful for success in 70-433
You can see my exam notes that I have taken after 70-433 exam at Study Guide for Certification Exam 70-433
