4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best prep material, but good enough to pass, February 8, 2006

This review is from: CIW:Server Administrator Study Guide Exam 1D0-450 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I realize other reviews have slammed this book, but I didn't think it was too bad at all. I just took the CIW 1D0-450 exam today and passed with a 93% on the Internet Systems Management section and a 73% on the Advanced Systems Management section (83% overall), and this book was the only study material I used. Granted, this book could have used a little more thorough explanation of the advanced topics, and there were some silly mistakes in the testing material, but overall it covered 98% of everything I saw on the exam. The 1D0-450 is a fairly tough test, and this is not a entry level "For Dummies" type of book. I have also recently completed the Master CIW Designer cert., and this is the most difficult CIW test I have taken to date. Just be sure to read, and re-read, and re-read again every section, and take all the practice tests. Hey I got through it, and I'm sure with sufficient preparation so can you!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not enough to get certified, May 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: CIW:Server Administrator Study Guide Exam 1D0-450 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I read the book, and I did understand it. I took all the practice tests until I was getting at least 95% (some of the answers to the practice tests are wrong, which does not help), used the flashcards, and still failed the exam. (Technically I passed the first part, failed the second, and failed overall.)

The book is okay for the basic stuff, but it doesn't have enough for the Advanced section. The authors might want to do an updated edition of this book -- and sombody should double-check the practice exam answers.
