SQL Server exam advice

[EliseFreedman]

Hiya

Wonder if i could get peoples opinions

For the past few months ive been studying with computeach for the sql server 70-229 exam. i passed it first time in august with 82%.

I then started working towards the NCC certificate in oracle 8i.

Today ive discovered that ncc are withdrawing the certificate and therefore my only option is either take a refund or to switch to sql server admin (70-228).

I was wondering how people found 228 that had already taken it.

If you are a SQL DBA already then 228 will be a piece of cake. If not you'll need to spend some time with SQL Server learning SQL, database design (logical and physical), query structor, replication, clustering, etc.

How did you find the 228 exam compared to the 229 exam

 

[mrdenny]

I found them both easy. However I had been a professional SQL DBA for over 7 years when I finely bothered to take the exams.

There is quite a bit of overlap on the content of the two exams. I second mrdenny's comments about 228 being easy if you passed 229 first time.
