The Art of Cross-Referencing

Ok, for those that aren't aware, when preparing for any IT certification exam it's imperative that you use more than one source of material in which to study from. Some products don't do a good job of explaining certain objectives (or omit them all together!). You don't want to get hit with a bunch of questions pertaining to a subject you assumed was "not that important" because your book/class/software etc... didn't cover it.

I'm using Microsoft's MS Press Self Paced study guide for 70-431:


Like their other self study guides, it breaks each chapter down into short "Lessons". It takes about 10-15 mins to read through each lesson, and probably another 10 minutes to do the exercises. I perfer this method of short lessons as it makes the material much easier to digest.
