MCSE Exams: A TestTaker's Guide (Testtaker's Guide Series) [Paperback]

Timothy Warner (Author)

Book Description

Series: Testtaker's Guide Series | Publication Date: December 13, 1999

Just as successful students often score poorly on SAT's, many highly experienced administrators fail the MCSE certification exams because they don't have a clearly-defined approach to taking them. Content knowledge in the specific subject areas is not enough; the test-taker must complement content expertise with tips and techniques on how to prepare for the exams and an awareness of the Microsoft methodology in crafting them. This book introduces both the core and elective exams for Windows NT, frames them in their relation to the MCSE track, outlines key concepts and objectives, and then offers practice exam question/answer sets. The answer passages include detailed content facts and test-taking psychology (deductive reasoning, trick questions, etc.).

This book serves as a tremendous bridge between resource guide and testing strategy. The integration of the theory along with the test preparation questions is excellent. The author's inclusion of outside resources proved invaluable and helped me pass my first two exams on the first try!
