    1. I bought the Microsoft Press Training Kit for the 70-433 exam, but there seems to be a huge difference between the exam objectives listed in the book and those currently listed on the Microsoft website. Are the objectives on the website currently the ones to go by?

    2. I have not been able to find any books to prepare for the SQL Server 2008 MCITP exams. Do you know of any?

    Hi Tom-

    Generally, go by the objectives listed on the website.  Look at the publication date of the book too as it may be a bit dated and geared toward the initial release of the exam.  It is fairly common for the objectives and exams to be updated during the exam lifecycle.  In such situations, updated books are usually produced (typically seen as v2, etc.).

    I can't offer much on relevant books for the SQL 2008 MCITP though.  I'm sure somebody else can chime in on that one.

    Agree with Brian's reply.

    There is an overview of additional study resources for 7-451 here http://learning.microsoft.com/manager/LearningPlanV2.aspx?resourceId=%7bcdac939e-5cb3-4ae6-9ad0-7d669a01af3d%7d&clang=en-US

    I've also been told that CBT Nuggets has a good package for both 70-433 and 70-451.
