Not as easy as you think	achristenson on Thursday, March 22, 2007

I had to take this exam 3 times. They trick you on the questions that have code in the answers. The answers have little differences like commas, ands, as well as other subtle changes. Take your time to read every answer before you choose.

Be Prepared	ddtater on Saturday, February 10, 2007

This is no cake walk despite what some may say. If you have a solid foundation and experience in logical db design and usage you will still find this exam quite challenging.

If you study you will pass	als7sda on Thursday, January 26, 2006

Passable if you study

Train Hard - Fight easy	roymatthews on Monday, October 31, 2005

Spent quite a few months preparing for this one from the Sybex book. Tossed the Microsoft book away because it was so horrible to read. I found the exam easier than the three I took for my MCAD .NET but spent more time preparing. It certainly was not as hard as I expected.

Forget the MS training course	j_a_saunders on Thursday, March 03, 2005

I did the 5 day offical Microsoft training course and it didn't cover half of what was on the exam. It's the last course I'll be going on for a while as I go back to self study. The books appear to cover all the examined topics, but the courses don't match up when it comes to Microsoft. This was the one I needed for MCDBA, so MCAD.NET or MCSE Messaging 2k3 next for me. Not sure which yet.

HARD!	leeab070 on Friday, January 28, 2005

A lot harder than all the practise tests I tried. Had some 'beta' questions which were not part of the usual curriculum and were only there because Microsoft are deciding whether they should expand the 70-229 curriculum.

study guides vs exam	lornaw on Sunday, January 02, 2005

Interesting to see that most of the topics covered by study guides did not crop up at all, and my exam seemed to focus on a few limited topics. I passed first time though with 89%

Study and pass...	cmeneghel on Tuesday, December 28, 2004

Just study, take Transcender/PrepLogic and pass. I passed on this exam yesterday Dec, 27 and my score was 870.

Not a bad exam.	commoner on Thursday, December 02, 2004

This exam is not difficult. Take your time and read the questions and answers carefully.

Study hard.	poor_tatey on Monday, November 08, 2004

I kept taking practice tests and failing, so I knew I wasn't ready. Don't underprepare.
