5.0 out of 5 stars Great final prep study tool for the 214 exam., May 29, 2003

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE Implementing and Administering Security in a Windows 2000 Network Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-214) (Paperback)

When I took the 70-214 exam in January there was only one book on the market to use. I had to scour the internet for information pertaining to the exam and I was lucky enough to pass the exam.

What is had hoped for when taking the exam was a tool to use for the final preparation of the exam objectives to be able to give myself the best chance of passing the exam on first try. This book provides such an exam tool and this is a good tool for those looking to put the finishing touches on their studies.

The Exam Cram series has been a source of information that that the finer points of the exam material and condenses it into a book that if used as an aide to passing can and will help those in pursuit of the certification. This book covers every objective and outlines the exam in an easy to follow manner.

Make no mistake about this, the 70-214 exam is one of the toughest and most in depth exams I have ever taken. I found the author to have a deep and detailed knowledge of the subject matter and his style makes reading the technical material a little easier.

You are also given a cd with the Prep Logic exam software, I found the questions to be comparable to the actual exam, but I think for the money the entire set of questions should have been included. Overall the book is a tool that will help with the exam and beyond.
