Finished Courses, Selecting Books for Exam Preparation (List of Books)

Hello,

I have finished 3 courses 70-315,70-316 and 70-320. We studied those
courses based on MSPress Self Paced Books.

As I know those books are not enough for taking exams I have prepared a
list of books and I am going to spend next 2-3 months on them.

As my budget is very limited (My current salary is $400, yes, salaries
are very low here in my country) I will appereciate if you can tell me
your opinion about these books before I buy them.

I just want to make sure I will succedd in exams in first try because I
will need to take them in another country and I will need to minimize
travel and exam costs.

Again I appereciate your help and opinions.

Best Regards,
Mac

i have only done 70-316 so far, and i used the self paced book, official
microsoft curriculum 2555a, and the msdn help collection. I passed first
try. 255a toched a number of subjects that the self paced book does not, so
they complement each other.

to know if you are read try a self assessment test at microsoft.com, and use
MSDN to give you more information.

70-316

kind regards,
Bruno.

Can you get your employer to buy some books?

 

No Eric,

They even do not help with course fees . Manager has specifically
blocked everything related to certificates etc.
