I purchased the Professional book one month ago.....I tested out after two weeks. I then bought the Pass-it Server book and tested after one week. The author isn't Charles Brooks but a guy call Dively. I'm on a roll. I have just purchased the Pass-it CCNA and I hope this author kept his same style. I just found out that there is a Windows 2000 Infra out by the same guy...I'll talk the CCNA first and then if I pass I'll see about that book. Keep up the good work Mr DIvely.

I purchased this book on Monday and tested out on Friday. This book had all the required subject areas to take the test the first time. I also purchased the 2000 Server book called PASS-IT. I studied the Server book for two weeks and also passed the test after the first try. I wish this author would keep them coming.

This is my first MCSE test and this book was the only book I used. I do have 2 years as a Windows 2000 Administrator, but I'm not good at test taking. This author did a fine job condensing the book to a point that I could get my MCP in one try. This author has another book that I will try for 2000 Server that I just purchased today. I'll let you all know if he continued to help me in my quest.

I disagree with the previous reviewer. I have been in the IT field for less than a year and I used this book to prepare to take the exam. This book gave me only what I needed to pass the test. If I wanted to learn how to do each individual task I would have purchased a book to do so. But, the reason I purchased this book was only to pass the test.

Windows 2000 Professional is fast becoming the OS of choice and with that Microsoft exam 70-210 seems to be the exam you'll need to master. I have found that books that only deal in the exam objective are helpful but you'll need other material to help fill in the gaps, this book is certainly a help but not as a stand alone choice.

While the author has made sure every exam objective is covered, and filled the book with tips and tricks you still need to have some hands-on labs to aide in the learning process. Each chapter has review question at the end and scattered throughout the chapter is Exam Challenges, which I found to be helpful but again you need some equipment to try them out.

Overall I found the book to be useful; also there is a cd with 2 exams of 75 questions each, 1 for the 70-210 and 1 for the 70-215 exams. I think that since this is a 70-210 book both exams should be for that and I am sure in the next update this can be fixed.

The cd also contain over 500 other questions that can be unlocked for and additional $50.00, again I think this should be included with the book, however this is a minor fix. The unlock code can be purchased online and overall the book does its job.
