Hi Jeroen,

The first place to start is with the Training Guide. It will help you get grounded in the topic conceptually and it provides a wealth of real-world scenarios to get you thinking about how to apply the technology. It provides more information and background so that you can build a good foundation. That, combined with hands-on experience gets you to the knowledge base you need to be successful on the certification. Once you get to that level, then the Exam Ref is the perfect resource for checking your mastery of each exam objective, and points you to additional resources to help you round out any knowledge gaps. The two work together to provide a great solution. Those with more experience will find the Exam Ref deep enough on its own. Those new to the topic will want to build their knowledge first with the Training Guide and hands-on experience to gain mastery of the job role and then use the Exam Ref to hone skills and identify any knowledge gaps prior to sitting the exam. HTH.

Best,

Anne

Ok, let's say I am not an experienced professional, or I am a novice planning to get a certificate (Windows 8 ?) to get promoted or a better job, which one should I use for my exam preparation ? The Exam Ref or the Training Guide (which "only" "cover a minimum of 80% of the topics on an exam").

Thank you very much.
