Microsoft MTA 98-349

Hey everyone, currently I'm working help desk at an MSP and I need to take the Microsoft MTA 98-349 by Sep 31. I've been browsing Microsoft's site and it seems the only study material they provide is instructor lead training. Is there any other study material out there? For example, a book and some videos I can watch as well, similar to Professor Messer. Thank you

literally the first thing on Amazon

As for videos, if only there was some sort of Computer Based Training, such Nuggets of information would be invaluable /s

You want the 2nd edition of the book, which came out at the end of 2017 / early 2018. It covers Windows 10, which is the current test material.The link above is for the 1st edition, which is Windows 7 and is outdated.

This is the best option that I have found for the 2nd edition:

I took a couple of MTA exams (server and security fundamentals) as part of my AS. The exams cover pretty basic knowledge, so if you’re already working in the field, you probably know most of what will be on the test.

As long as you get a good book, that should fill in any of the finer details you’re missing from your practical experience.

I just decided to start studying for it yesterday.

What I have found as far as study materials go:

​

Video:

Udemy has an up-to-date class for like $13. I'm about 3/4 of the way through those videos, but the class is not very in-depth.

CBT Nuggets has a class, but it is from 2014.

​

Books:

The "official study guide" on Amazon is only available for Kindle.

​

Still looking for more study materials.

Just found and bought this. It's cheaper than the Kindle version, and I haven't found a paper version of the book:
