I gave my review of 71-432 this weekend. It was supposed to end beta yesterday. They extended it and opened it for everyone. Read Gerry's post on it here and then go sign up. I might go take the BI test.

What did you think of the exam? I'm scheduled to take the sql 2008 BI beta later this month. Any thoughts / comments / tips on prepping for the beta would be greatly appreciated.

For the BI test, I would look at the SQL 2005 training kit.

http://www.amazon.com/MCTS-Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-445/dp/0735623414

Focus on your weak points. After that, use external sources to catch up on the new features.
