I bought the microsoft press bookset. It wasn't very well written in my opinion. The questions on each section didn't always include covered material. The CD questions were also difficult to master. It very well could be that I am old and can't learn anymore too. I felt that some of the questions focused on the most logical way to do tasks while others required any possible reply. A younger tech here suggested that the books were really designed to force you into boot camps. If you are up for some extra studying they have an advantage that they also have a discount to the tests. That bookset does come mostly from the horses mouth also. I don't regret buying them. I wish you the best of luck.

A great resource to use is the "Administrators Pocket Consultant" range from MS press. I have purchsed several titles from this range.
Use these in addition to your main study material. Great for quick answers and walkthroughs.
ISBN for the windows 2003 pocket consultant is 0-7356-1354-0
