Summary: Best Book Overall for Test Preparation
Comment: I've worked on SQL Server, taken this exam, and tutored others in SQL Server. Overall this book is as at least as good as the competition. It is much better written and editted than most other books on SQL Server, although as some other reviewers have said you sometimes hope for more detail. This book alone won't prepare you for the test, but it is a required one in my opinion. Some other good books are Sybex's "Mastering SQL Server 2000", Microsoft's "Inside SQL Server 2000", and of course SQL Server's "Books Online". Practice tests like Transcender or the Microsoft Readiness Review are an absolute requirement to pass the test, which is in my opinion one of the harder ones given by Microsoft.

A book that was a totally self sufficient standalone preparation for the test would be several times the size of this volume! This one is as good as anything available.

Summary: Good for the beginner
Comment: Touches on all the topics on the test. It is a great introduction to the many topics you need to know to pass. However, without SQL Server Books Online and a good set of practice tests (not the ones in this book) I don't think you'll make it. This book skims the surface on everything. A lot of milk but not much meat. I found the practice tests at the end of each chapter to be of little value.

Summary: Great buy!
Comment: Though I have not yet taken any exam (aiming for mcdba), I find this book really good. I am one of those who wants to learn a bit a theory as well, not just the practical parts. And I find this book to cover all of my expetations... A little minus for the boring chapters about upgrading Sql-s 6.5 and 7.0 though:), I hope that when I get to the age when I am supposed to find me a work (and hopefully something that has with sql-s to do) that they have done the upgrading before I arrive:D
