    It's obviously useful to have the 2012 book, however there's a number of changes in R2 and the exam would be based on the R2 version. It would probably be worthwhile getting an R2 book.

    I find CBT Nuggets quite good for training material:

    W2012R2

    As mentioned, there are various changes in R2, so you would need to get up to speed on them.

    W2012R2 changes

    Also you can do practice exams, I did the Exchange exam recently and used did some practice exams on measureup.com. It was definitely beneficial.

    HTH.

    On practice exams, if you have an Android smart phone definitely buy the A+VCE app from the play store. IT's the best 15 Euro you'll ever spend. That will allow you to download and store many tests exams that you can do at your own pace.

    I'd highly recommend you set up a lab to go along with the course. You can download the Evaluation version of 2012R2 from Microsoft if you register on the learning site. There is also a Lab download I think which contains all the Lab machines as .vhd files and Hyper-V files.

    Good luck !
