1.0 out of 5 stars Not enough to pass the exam., January 24, 1999

This review is from: Exchange Server 5.5 MCSE Study Guide (Hardcover)

After much success using the MCSE Windows NT Study guide by Alan Carter from IDG Books, I decided to purchase this one from IDG books also. After reading through it, I feel that it did not cover the subject well enough to help you pass. I recently purchased the Official MSPress Exchange Training Kit, it easily beat this book hands down.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't but this book, December 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Exchange Server 5.5 MCSE Study Guide (Hardcover)

Lack necessary information need for the exam. Very redundant. okay for beginners, but don't waste your time reading more than the first three chapters. Do not use this as primary preparation for the exam. I passed with a 554, but thats all thanks to the transcender corp. Bottom line: exchange is huge and this book leaves out important CHAPTERS of information. Any book that claims to prepare for an exam should have some sort of discussion all topics that you will tested on, whether it be detailed or brief. This book did not do that. I've used IDG publications to study for other tests and liked them but they really disappointed me with this one.
