People,

I'm trying to get stuck into studying for my next MCP, exam 70-291. What I would like to know is any good book titles for this cert, easy to read with some lab configs at the end of each chapter. Also, if anybody’s taken this exam recently how they found the new simulator questions, what they involved and the difficulty of them.



Any help is much appreciated

Well most books dont always have lab configurations, however they often have step by step lab tasks to follow along to

I recommend either the Sybex or QUE books personally

And I'm sure I will be able to get a LAB diagram up for 291 at some point

 

Thanks Phoenix,

I'll look into the Sybex books.

Hi,
Did the 291 about a month ago, the sims were very realistic, you will need lots of hands-on pratice doing what I can imagine to be almost every admin task on the server.
As for books, I used the study guide and dvd training book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...8-8/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i8_xgl/026-8387333-8498828
But I also had the MS book,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...8-9/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i9_xgl/026-8387333-8498828
Which I found had a lot more pratical / useful exercises.

Thanks Jamin, I'm going to get the Sybex book - like the idea of DVD training.

another question, which exam question tests did you use ?
I've used both Measure Up and Transcender in the past, and have found Transcender better. Were they realisitc to the actual exam you took ?

thanks.
