I'm more than half way through the SQL Server Administration practice questions and I've found too many incorrect answers to recommend this book.

Decent help for the test
30 Mar 2000
This boxed set is a pretty decent help for the test if you have some experience with SQL Server 7 already.
The two textbooks cover the exam objectives, but tends to treat certain areas a little superficially. They are well laid out, though, and easy to read. For the most part they do a good job of explaining concepts, although it is evident that different authors have written different part of the books, as some sections are excellent, and other do the joob less impressively.
Overall, the textbooks are somewhat mediocre - they do a good job of explainging things, but they are too superficial to cover all you need to know on the tests. Also, the test questions in these books are ridiculously easy, and are in no way representative of the real tests. The CDs are useless, as they just assemble these questions; and there are also lots of errors in the answers.
The Self Test book, on the other hand, is excellent! The questions in this book are generally VERY hard (harder than on the test), and the answers include good and thourough explanations to both correct and wrong ansers.
From this book, I learned a lot of details that weren't covered in the textbooks.
With a year's experience of developing web applications against SQL Server 7 and this boxed set, I passed both tests in one try.
