Negative Positive
Title: Not applicable to the exam as of August '07
Review: I installed the evaluation edition of SQL Server that came with the book. Then I went through the book, read every page, did every sample test and more than half of the practice items (many were redundant).Then I went to take the test and I was shocked. Many, many questions were not covered by the material in this book! I have a very good memory, and read the book while laid off so it only took me two weeks to get through it, so my memory is not the issue here. Microsoft produced a book and represents it's purpose as prep for the test, but it doesn't cover all the material the test does!Most of the questions were covered so it is possible to pass from this book, but I couldn't.One particularly galling question on the exam involved a port number that was not in the book, I checked.Needless to say, I am disappointed. I hope that if I need another certification the kit is more representative of the exam content.
Is the review positive or negative?
