I looked as their online sample and it seemed fairly good. No answer back yet to the question of whether they will be offering 70-465 though. However, even just the 70-464 may give an insight into how much more in depth the study for 70-465 needs to be.http://www.ucertify.com/vendors/Microsoft.htmlThu, 02 May 2013 07:23:59 GMTChillyDBAhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1425143-2799-1.aspxThere are no specific training materials for the 464 & 465 that im aware of. There are microsoft press books for 461 - 463, which are supposed to be a basic version of the 464 & 465.The 464 & 465 will contain more of the same (464 similar to the 461, 465 similar to 462). The idea is if you got through the 1st 3 exams, which are basic enough questions, your next jump is to more complex questions on the same areas.for example, instead of just knowing syntax for a partial backup/restore, you will be given a complex scenario for DR and asked what the best solution is.If you done pretty well in the 1st 3 exams, perhaps bone up on the basics and then just go for the 464 & 465 and see how you get on. Thats my plan at least. if i fail the 464 & 465 at least then il know what level i need to be at and can go away and focus my study to the appropriate level.Trancender will hopefully bring out sample exams for the 464 & 465 eventually which would be the best study route/way to assess if your ready.Thu, 02 May 2013 03:23:21 GMTwinston Smithhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1425143-2799-1.aspxI was looking for the same thing. I have passed the 70-461 and 70-462 exams. My employer is requesting details on training materials for the 464 and 465 exams, but I haven't been able to find any so far.Anyone?Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:25:29 GMTthistedhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1425143-2799-1.aspxI've finally embarked upon the certification path after (too many) years of broken resolutions.I'm choosing to go the study guide route rather than a boot camp or other course, as it allows me to also fit in the study during quiet periods in my current job.I'm starting from scratch, so the path is easy:70-461, 70-462 and 70-463 for MCSA followed by 70-464 and 70-465 for the Data Platform MSCE and (if I still have the will to live) 70-466 and 70-467 for the BI MCSEI have the Oreilly Study guides for the 3 MCSA exams and am forging my way through them.However, I was just browsing for study guides for the MSCE exams and am unable to find any.Does anyone have any details of study guides for 70-464, 70-465, 70-466 or 70-467 please?Ideally both printed and electronic format, but either would be fine.Thanks in advanceApologies - I should have posted this in the Career/Certification forum.Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:51:12 GMTChillyDBA
