I used this book as my main study guide, and found it to be right on. It was easy enough for a beginner to understand, yet thorough enough to help me pass the exam. The CD is unusually well done. Oh yeah, the pull out cram book is worth the price alone. Get this book if you want to pass.

This book is an A-Z look at what you need to know to pass the Microsoft exam. I tried the shorter books and thought I could pass with just the information in them - I was mistaken to the tune of $100 per attempt.

Realizing I needed something more, I found this book - filled in the holes in my knowledge (and in the short books) - and passed. Not only did I accomplish my goal of becoming an MCP before the end of the year, but thanks to this book (and the great preparation software on the CD), I now understand far more about the product than I thought it was possible to.

The book is good, there is no question about it, but what blew me asway was the short book glued into the front of it that is the nuts and bolts of what you must cram for the exam. This is not a tear-out sheet, or a rehash of the exam objectives - this is the actual study tool you need to pass the test first time out.

A good book for content, but don't look at the pictures. Not sure how this one got by, but a lot of the Figures in this book where wrong. When talking about RAS, the Figure showed a "Migration Tool For NewWare" picture. This kind of thing happened more that once or twice. I found this very distracting. The book also covered a lot of registry stuff, none of which will be on any test.
