Suggestions for study guide.

Hi everyone, has anyone used the Syngress Osborne book for this test? If so what do you think about it? I am thinking about buying the book to prepare for the test. Thanks for your input.

I am using the Sybex book and the Transcender practice exams; this combination has gotten me through 70-210 and 70-215.

I'm sure that the Syngress Osborne book is fine, just make sure to review MS Exam Objectives and use other resources, including a variety of practice tests and daily questions.

I am using the Mike Meyers passport series (first time I've used one, very readable), Exam Cram, and Transcender. The combination of 2 books plus Transcender has worked for me every time - 14 exams now. This time in addition I was given a CBT nuggets video. Have not done that yet. I almost always over-prepare. This time was was going to cut it short and go for it next week (since the next week is impossible) but now that I hear the exam is longer, I can't see taking a chance on blowing it. So back to the books.

I always find that when I get to the Transcender part of my study (always after the first book), it puts some structure and scope to the exam for me.
Then of course, I always wear my lucky earrings to the exam.

Just another question - if the exam is over 3 hours, has anyone ever tried to leave to run to the "facilities"? I never have, but once I thought I might lose my lunch in the test room!!!!!

I have found most of the books will give you the needed background. Transcenders have always worked for me. Do get hands-on practice.

Joan0618 - as far as using the "facilities", you'll just have to ask the test proctor. I've been given permission to do so in the past.
