just passed 70-315, looking to take 70-229 next..

Hey Congratulations!!! and best of luck for the next step.

I am right now preparing for 70-315. Can you please give me some tips regarding
preparation.

1.) Practice web sites? which are similar to the real test scenario
2.) I am preparing from Amit Kalani's book for 70-315 que publication. Is it sufficient to prepare for the test?

Thanks in advance and good luck once again.

bye

Amit Kalani's book is very good but you will have to
basically cover every single detail of the book to pass
the test. Another website that's a very good source is
http://www.codeclinic.com/70-315skills.htm
that website outlines important MSDN articles that you
should study.

Furthermore, take practice exams, many of them. I paid
$60 for 30-days usage at www.measureup.com.

The test is fairly hard, make no mistake about it.

There aren't any excellent books for 70-229. I used the Sybex book by
Isreal. Some people use the Que book. Neither one is excellent.

I recommend using Transcender or MeasureUp for good practice questions
after you go through one of these books.
