Which course first?

| Karen Brookes 2003-12-09, 9:24 am |
| I am trying to work out a plan of attack for studying to
get my MCDBA. It is my understanding that the courses
should be taken in the following order: 2071, 2072, 2073
for exam (70-228 & 229). Could someone please tell me if
this is correct and if so why do you take the "Querying
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Transact-SQL, course 2071"
before 2072. Shouldn't you know how to install SQL first?
Also, the training I have been looking at are 2 - 5 days
in length and cost $1000.00 and up. Is this high price
correct?
Thanks.

| U don't need the courses, get the books, they've got some practical
questions. Then do a lot of exam questions hard.

| I agree with the other posters. Don't pay money for the training classes.
Buy books, study, take practice tests. Do this after signing up for an exam.
That will create the deadline pressure you need to learn the material, since
you are paying for the exam. This is what I'm going to do. I took a MS
training course one time. I did not really learn much.

| That's right. In 5 days you won't learn enough to pass the
exam. Installing SQL server is easy (you don't need the
7072 course for it). That's why it's better to take the
7071 course first. Once you have a basic knowledge of
querying, you can understand all the 7072 course (which
includes more complex things than just installing). I
recommend you to buy books instead of taking the courses.
