&lt;p&gt;I am going to take MCITP BI test. Do you have any study material of 70-445 and 70-446 to prepare these test? I only got a &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-445).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or any recommendation for test preparation would be much appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;congratulations on passing the exam!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and thanks for the numbers - rather impressive! I think you&amp;#39;ll find that the low MCITP-BI Developer numbers are due to the age of the exam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well done!!&lt;/p&gt;

There were 6 scenarios and around 10 questions for each scenario and 30 minutes for each scenario. Not too hard and many straightforward questions if you have done a few projects and are familiar with concepts like: dimensional modeling, cube designing, SCD (especially type-2), data mining. There are only 183 MCITP -BI Developer all around the world up to now compare to 3,232 MCITP (DBA) or 148,244 MCDBA (SQL 2000), that&amp;#39;s a very small number. Not sure if that means the MS BI is not popular or it is still young or because it&amp;rsquo;s a new exam or &amp;hellip; (?) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I study from&amp;nbsp;xxxxxxx I recommend that you all do not waste your time and money on other cheap training.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1662767" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
