发布此帖源于近期学员考试意外频频之因。探其根究，是微软考试的改版给大家带来了很多不适应。也提醒了大家要多多关注考试的最新信息。
新版考试分2部分，35道选择题，要求75分钟内完成，12道模拟实验题，要求145分钟内完成。2部分分别记分，最后取最低分。
如此一来尤其对于在校学生来说，动手实验的缺乏直接导致了模拟实验部分的溃败。出现了很多选择题全对而实验题没通过的令人惋惜的局面。不过这也表明了微软认证考试越来越看重动手实践和理论知识的有效结合。
再单独讲70-431之前我们先来了解一下微软最新认证的一些情况，大家可以根据自己的喜好选择对应方向，从而做到有的放矢

关于认证考试70-431
复习，使用MSpress的70-431 Training Kit，在微软网站下载的E文的SQL Server 2005 Express版。如果你没时间看英文书，至少动手实验下吧，否则会死的难看。
选择题，
见附件：
不需要看其他任何的，当然答案不一定全对。
模拟题，很多人估计对这个望而却步吧，其实模拟题不难，只要做过书后每章的实验，看懂了题目，基本上是稳过的。
模拟题并不是完整的SQL Server 2005操作环境，每题只需要完成有限的操作，如果你操作的额外的，会提示你该操作在这个题目里面不被支持。模拟题可以reset所有的操作，也可以review.
为了帮助大家通过考试特整理了部分模拟题供大家参考

希望以上信息对大家通过微软的考试，尤其是70-431有所帮助，并希望各位在以后的工作学习中一帆风顺。
