3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but a few technical flaws, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Certification Test Yourself Practice Exams (Syngress) (Paperback)

I found the book very helpful in passing the NT Workstation exam. As another reviewer mentioned, the test questions are more difficult than the real thing, so if you can take answer all 400+ test questions for an exam you shouldn't have any problem passing the real test. It's unfortunate that both the study books by this publisher and this test book have a few incorrect questions and answers, but I've found this in MCSE study materials from other publishers as well. I find it intolerable that these errors make it to print in a guide for extremely technical material.

While I found the test questions very valuable, I won't be buying more study guides from them and will be looking for study guides with fewer technical errors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, an excellent resource to prepare for your tests., July 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Certification Test Yourself Practice Exams (Syngress) (Paperback)

I have utilized this book as the last step before taking (and passing on the first try) all 4 core exams. There are some flaws and poorly worded questions, however, the majority of the questions are useful in evaluating your readiness to take the exam. In addition to the questions, there are various tips and extra info thrown in that can be useful. I would definitely recommend this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars useful but flawed, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Certification Test Yourself Practice Exams (Syngress) (Paperback)

i'm self studying for my mcse, and i just aced my first exam, nt workstation. this was one of the products i used. on the positive side, it's very thourough, and the questions provided are generally more difficult than those on the actual exam (don't worry if you don't do well at first--i was scoring 45% and 50% on the practice live tests a few days before the exam, but still managed to pass the real exam with flying colors). the fact that the questions are difficult makes this product extremely useful as a review tool. i recommend going through all the questions several times and memorizing the answers. some of the questions on the real exam are similar, and several draw on knowledge you'll pick up by memorizing the answers to questions in this product.

on the negative side, there are a fair amount of errors in the program (answers that don't match questions), and a few instances of seemingly erroneous answers. there are enough instances of typos, bad grammar, and vague and poorly worded questions to make things annoying at times, but this is the case with most of the mcse study material i've seen so far. also, there are a few annoying limitations in the interface--you can't choose the number of questions on a test, and you can't review your answers after a live test.

were it not for the problems listed above, it would be an outstanding product. still, it's a useful, and worth the price since it covers all the core exams.
