This review is from: MCSE Six Pack (Paperback)

I used this book for all my MCSE exam preparation. I found it very useful as there are many similar questions appear on the real exam. The CD come with the book also helps as it simulates the exam situation and give you feed backs on all the questions. I used this book to scored 1000 with my NT Server exam and I am now a MCSE ^_^.

I think it is a good book for reference. However, you can't understand the details of the covered chapters which might be required to pass the exams. The questions in the books should have explanations so that the reader will know why the answers are chosen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly the only book you'll ever need, July 30, 2000

This review is from: MCSE Six Pack (Paperback)

This book is mostly a collection of practice test questions necessary to pass the MCSE exams. This is not a study guide. If you are trying to obtain an in-depth knowledge of the coursework, you will need to purchase another book other than this. However, if your objective is to only pass the exams and get your MCSE, this book is tremendously helpful. Simply put, a lot of the questions in this book are almost the same exact questions offered on the actual exams. There are some reading material which explains the subject, but this material is rather cursory and does not get in depth. The only strength of this book is that you can simply memorize all the questions and answers offered, and you will have know at least 70% of the questions offered on the actual exams. There are some errors which I found. For example, on the IIS 4.0 chapter, some of the answers offered are blatantly wrong. This is most likely a printing error or careless editing. Nevertheless, the majority of the questions and answeres are correct. The only other shortcoming of this book is that it does not explain the answers. It simply tells you what the correct choice is. I can honestly say that without this book, I would not be an MCSE today. This book is a VERY good shortcut to certification.
