Thanks! Big Grin | :-D

The C# exam was not so hard for me since I already had 3+ years experience in C# so I knew a lot already.
I had also written some articles for CP already which helped me get deeper into the matter, which certainly helped during the exam.
I did read the following book though: MCSD Certification Toolkit (Exam 70-483): Programming in C#[^].
I answered all the practice questions and focused on the stuff I scored bad at. Even when you don't know the answer to a question the first time chances are you won't forget a second time!

With SQL Server I was not so experienced (although I've used it for a few years as well, but just the simpler SELECT statements). So I read the following book: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012[^].
I wrote two articles for CP about the subject (one is actually still a work in progress as I couldn't finish it on time for the exam, expected to finish after the holidays). This helped me A LOT since I had to think of how I was going to write down certain stuff and I had to think of use cases for the database I used. And as Albert Einstein said: If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
Again, I made all the practice questions in the book and focused on the parts where I scored bad.

Good luck!
It's an OO world.
