Have been chewing on SQL Books Online for the past few days. *Stress* It appears that the 071-441: PRO: Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 may not be so straight-forward afterall. The skills being measured looks pretty complicated for this one with most of them beginning with the word 'Design' i.e. Design tests for query performance, Design and implement application security, Design data flow architecture etc.
I somehow feel that most of the items for this exam require heavy reading and experience. Unlike the previous exam, they are not things that can be picked up from typing-in keywords in the index. With such limited resources and reading materials, plus my deteriorating memory, I'm really up against a tough one this time. I have a hunch that it will be a case-study-like exam, something like the MCSD 70-300 Solutions Architecture exam.
I'm now 24 hours away from the exam and I'm still unsure of what I'm reading is appropriate. Hitting hard on the theory side now (The previous one was all practical). I did thought of chickinin'out when I first saw the skills being measured but decided to push ahead anyway. There's no harm going for it since it will be a good experience (and test) for me but it is a high chance that it will be a suicide-attempt.
All I need now is some courage and a little luck!
