The Exam Cram2 is newer, last year I believe...it should do you well. As
well, just becuase the MS Press or Sybex book is a little older doesn't mean
it's out of date by any means...the base information hasn't changed much.
The Transcender (or any other self test program) can be useful if you are in
doubt of your readiness or need to see where you are particularly weak.
Just don't become dependant on them.
Best,
Will
