I want to pass 70-459 (Transition your MCITP on SQL Server 2008 to MCSE: Data Platform). I'm having trouble figuring out how to study for it. I can't find any books or resources or practice exams specific to that test. I'm guessing it's a combination of 70-464 and 465, but resources for those are hard to find as well.
Can anybody suggest books or practice exams that would be useful?

Books Online works, otherwise use the books/training resources for the exams which it replaces. Upgrade exams don't tend to get books.

Hi ,
I took these exams to move from the MCITP to MCSE, I used the Syllabus to drive my revision then used all sorts of books to learn.
Be aware of the marking scheme too. The exam is 3 hour and split across 2 sections. You need to pass each sub section to pass overall. I failed first time because on Section 1 I scored 650 and section 2 I scored 900( Overall mark was 775) - Pass Mark = 700.
But because I got 650 on section 1 I failed the whole exam ( regardless of section 2 score)... :crazy:
That was news to me..
