Dear All,

I am considering taking the above exam in the next few weeks.

I have attended the course that accompanies the Exam and have read the
course material.
I have also recently started reading Inside SQL Server 2000 by Kalen
Delaney.
I have been using SQL 2000 for the past 18-24 Months.

Can anyone give me any information regarding the above exam? Typically
how long is the exam and any guidance re: revision would be most
helpful.

Many thanks

Barry

Typically

> how long is the exam

It´s about 180 minutes (plus additional time for non native english
speakers)

For content look here (but experience is the best for preparing)

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.

I took the exam and it was 3 hours I believe.

Your best source of all information are the BOL, IMO.

I would read Microsoft's site about the contents of the exam
and then brush up on them using the BOL.
