Sorry but that is such a vague question.

Everything depends on how much hands-on experience you
have. Not to be mean, but based on the fact that you're
asking, I'd guess you'll need quite a bit of time.

Most people find that a book helps (there are many that
are good) and practice exams, such as transcender. Also
the Online Book that comes with SQL Server.

There is no magic bullet or easy way to pass. You're just
going to have to study and use the practice exams as a
way to measure your progress.

Hi,

I'm looking final One "Good" study guides book for 70-228.

Good means it has fair deep discussion about topics related to exam only.

which book?

I have study guides by Joyit (it's Crap, useless)
I have sql server programming by Viera (good! But not focus much on 70-228)
I have MS sql server training (good! But only a basic level)

thanks all
anthony

Sybex Study Guides are excellent for test passing purposes IMO.
