&lt;p&gt;Not really sure, to be honest. I think the best thing to do is to use the product! Look through the things covered by the exam at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-431.mspx"&gt;www.microsoft.com/.../70-431.mspx&lt;/a&gt;, and ask yourself if you&amp;#39;re fairly comfortable with each section. When you are (and this only needs to be &amp;#39;fairly&amp;#39; comfortable), then you should be able to easily pass the exam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I would always recommend that people just try it first!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rob&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was wondering if you could recommend something I could purchase that had more practice exams and simulated questions. &amp;nbsp;I want something that will really test my knowlege and not just a brain dump type of course. &amp;nbsp;I love SQL Server and want to become a very good DBA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nance&lt;/p&gt;

That would be cheating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And sorry Sacha - I haven't heard about there being simulation questions in 70-441. Could be though, as the simulation questions in 70-431 sound like they have been quite successful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you know if there are simulation questions on 70-441, or just (!) the case studies with multiple choice?&lt;/p&gt;
