Thanks everyone,

Many things are coming in my mind, like I have read on some pages that before giving exams I must have some knowledge of SQL server 2005 but what If I am new in this feild? however I have very basic knowledge of sql server.

Other question is that I am tryn to learn sql server 2008 from some training center, is it good to get training from any training center or should I do it myself .One of the center has given me their outline(I'm writing the topics here) will these topics cover my exam or Not?

And last, is there any criteria of giving exam 70-432 like I must have experience in sql server ?

Outline is here
