5.0 out of 5 stars Written to match the exam., September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE: Proxy Server 2 Study Guide (Hardcover)

Everyone is dead right - Too long. If you know TCP/IP skip chapter 2, IIS skip Chapter 5. Any clue about troubleshooting skim the last few chapters. I found that the questions and examples are extreamly close the the actual exam. I wonder how many times the authors had to take it to get so close!

When taking this one, I did exactly what I stated above, review the questions, followed up on those which were weak points. Installed the demo version of proxy on my home system and boom i scored 1000! I can't fault a book that was able to give me all that. Ok, so you skip the first 100 or so pages, get to the intresting stuff, miss 10-15% with poor study habits and minimal playing and you still pass.

I was originally using the Cram version of this book, however, it was too shy on pictures. This book has so many picutres, even If you don't have a computer, you would still be able to pass with this one.

Also, be sure to check Sybex's web page for the ERRATA - The TCP/IP sections (Chapter 2) appears to have a few minor typos - No biggies :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Cake, October 29, 2000

I like this book. I can't believe how stilly some of the comments up here are. Read this book fast, ignore the slow stuff, take the test the next day. This was the last exam I need for my MSCE. So I'm set till December 2001 - Ya hoo!

If you have half a brain you will pass in your sleep. I never would have though that I could score so high -- 962!

I must have spent half a day in the book store before finally choosing this one. It was extremely thorough and the only study guide I needed to pass the Proxy exam. If your looking for a proxy book, look no further.
