Question
-
Managed to fail the first try, luckily there is a second shot included. I went on a course for 5 days and have the prep book aswell as the course material. The thing I noticed was that there are many areas/questions wich are not included in my materials so I was wondering about taking a measureup practice test for R2. It seems the course and materials does not include R2 at all. Are there any other things I should consider?Tuesday, June 7, 2011 6:31 AM

Try looking at the skills measured in the exam and then research the topics in Technet and Google. I've not done this exam however this method seems to work quite well for developer and SQL Server exams.

I have now failed this twice off the suggested materials. You will need to do a lot of digging about R2. I am looking at practice tests now that take R2 into account. It is a damn shame that they update the questions for R2 but not the recommended training materials.
might take a look at this link though:

Sorry to hear that you failed and I agree with your comment about study material.
The content on the link you provided looks pretty good.
