Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Here's the situation: You know the material in the NT Server 4 in the Enterprise exam and you've worked with NT Server 4 for some time. You studied for the exam a month ago, but lately you've been working on something else and the exam date is approaching. What's the best way to review what's on the exam and practice answering some questions?

MCSE Exam Cram: NT Server 4 in the Enterprise provides an excellent last-minute review of sharing, domain structures, clustering, data redundancy, DNS (Domain Name System), NetWare, RAS (remote access server), and network printing. The authors touch on each element of the exam in a few pages, covering key concepts and procedures and then unleashing practice questions on you.

This book's strong point is its practice questions, which include topic-specific ones at the end of each section and a complete practice exam at the back of the book. Not only are the questions similar to those on the exam, but they're also followed by intelligent discussions of the right and wrong answers. Many of the answers appear on the same pages as their corresponding questions--an unfortunate layout decision that invites cheating.

1.0 out of 5 stars HOLD ONE WAIT A MINUTE, October 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE NT Server 4 in the Enterprise Exam Cram (Paperback)

Wait a minute. Criticizing a book a errors, especially technical errors, when it is usppoed to be preparing you for a technical exam IS A SERIOUS MATTER. How can somebody pas of a book and have the publisher do the same thing when it is wrong. These books that tell you "the only reference you will need is these books" then these reviewers who did great only did so when they used these books in CONJUNCTION with several others. These books are flawed and many of my students have complained about the amount of errors and confusion they have had. Excuse me when I sound pretentious but when I pay money for a book, I expect it to be accurate. The previus author should have asked himself this question, "Would I want an SAT or a GRE prep book riddled with errors!!" I think not.

This review is from: MCSE NT Server 4 in the Enterprise Exam Cram (Paperback)

I didn't like this book at all. Just read it and tried couple online tests. Some subjects not covered at all. Provides some very basic info about some basics. I already had a bad experience with ExamCram NetEss (see my review) and would give no another chance for ExamCram series. Sorry Ed. Now I have to buy more books to prepare for 70-068. Wish me good luck !

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Exams -You need to take Trancenders as well, July 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE NT Server 4 in the Enterprise Exam Cram (Paperback)

I studied one week for this exam. I used this book and the Trancenders only! It was enough to pass the test. I scored 688 and passing is 560 (7/7/99). Here is the deal...Have confidence in your own ability to study. DO NOT listen to all the hype about how hard the exam is and how many people fail the first time. They are not you. Who knows how hard they studied before the test, or how long they have had hands on. You best bet is to build you confidence by taking all the practice exams you can find on the net (Careful of errors). If you can consecutively pass the practice exams, you are good to go!!!
