Amazon.com Review
Packed with questions, answers, and commentary, Exam Cram: Proxy Server 2 will help you fine-tune your brain to pass the Proxy Server 2 exam (70-088), a popular elective for the Microsoft Certified Software Engineer (MCSE) certification. If you've worked with Proxy Server, you should be halfway to passing the test; this book will get you the rest of the way here.
Everything specified in the list of Proxy Server exam objectives is covered in this book, though Microsoft has not officially vetted it. You'll find coverage of planning, implementation, protocols, Internet access, and the mechanics of getting multiple Proxy servers working together.
Symptomatic of the Exam Cram series, this book was designed to assist in last-minute studying rather than advanced preparation. Exam Cram: Proxy Server 2 contains some tutorial prose, but mostly focuses on lists of key facts and practice questions. Each chapter covers individual exam objectives--such as security--and concludes with a series of questions. After each answer, the authors have posted their commentary explaining why the answer is what it is. These bits of commentary prove particularly useful on tricky questions, though self-testing would be easier if answers weren't printed in such close proximity to their questions. A complete sample test (whose answers appear elsewhere) and a good glossary conclude the book. --David Wall

Save Some Time for Yourself, Too.,
By Daniel Kim (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCSE Proxy Server 2 Exam Cram (Exam: 70-088) (Paperback)
When I scheduled the tests for MCSE. I didn't give enough time for this test, and I had no other choice but using exam cram books which I highly trust. They tend to cover most with a few mistakes. I finished this book within 2 days and passed the test. I read other reviews that this book is to read after TCP/IP and IIS4, but that's not really true. I only had basic knowledge of TCP/IP and IIS, and MS Proxy test doesn't require you to know corelated subject in depth. The book covered enough basics for me to pass the test. Save some time for yourself, too.MCSE, A+, Network+, i-Net+

Excellent book if used after IIS4 and TCP/IP tests,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE Proxy Server 2 Exam Cram (Exam: 70-088) (Paperback)
I had taken the IIS4 and TCP/IP tests prior to Proxy, which relies on these two areas. I used this Exam Cram and the Proxy Transcender to pass the exam. No surpises on the test with this preparation.

If you haven't passed IIS 4.0, dont even try,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE Proxy Server 2 Exam Cram (Exam: 70-088) (Paperback)
I can understand why people are split on this book. If you have done IIS 4.0 (internet service provider) you will have no trouble with this. Ifyou have not, it will be a difficult exam. I also suggest you buy the "Exam Prep" for proxy. If you don't understand IIS, TCP/IP, IEAK 4.0, Site Server you will not understand this book. If you do, it is good exam material. Jeffe
