Reddit mentions of Database Fundamentals: Microsoft Technology Associate Exam 98-364

I am going to WGU for the same degree as you.

I JUST took the MTA 89-364 database fundamentals this morning and passed. I would recommend this.

1. It's one of the cheapest certs to get
   
2. I had zero database experience and studied casually for 4 weeks and passed way above average.
   
3. It was the only one that i found plenty of free and easy study resources. I'll list some resources I used.
   
   Resources I used.

   ALL in all. Use lots of resources to stay consistent in studying. Setting up a SQL server and downloading the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can take some time and there are some great videos out there to help you. once you get it set up it will be easy. IF i can do it you can lol.

   GOOD LUCK
