Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The purpose of the book is to prepare you for the certification exam. For me it didn't meet that requirement.
The book does have a section for each of the objectives Microsoft has defined for the exam. But is FULL of errors (typos and concepts too!!), lacking good examples, concepts are defined vaguely and there is A LOT left out.
I took the exam and passed but I don't feel it was because of the book. I had to do additional research on each topic because the book wasn't enough. And in the exam there is definitely much more than the book covers.
The 2 stars are because:
1.The CD that comes with the book. The practice tests are very helpful to prepare for the exam, not only because they are exam-like questions but because you see some topics that weren't even mentioned on the book.
2.Considering is the only preparation guide for this exam, it at least guides you very briefly on the topics of the exam.
