Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

One of the hardest optional tests in the MCSE battery also is one of the most popular. The TCP/IP exam ranks as one of the favorites of test takers. Why? Because as the protocol that holds the Internet (and Internet-standard intranets) together, TCP/IP is so useful.

TCP/IP is so large and feature-rich that this book does not attempt to explain it much or tutor you in how to use it. Rather, MCSE Exam Cram: TCP/IP tries to explain the exam so you're better prepared to pass.

That's not to say that this book is devoid of explanation. You'll find brief summaries of routing, IP addresses, DNS (Domain Name Server), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), and troubleshooting--all key parts of the exam. However, these summaries are useless to those without grounding in TCP/IP from either experience or more in-depth books. The real strength of this book is its collection of questions, which are presented with a discussion (not just a statement) of the right and wrong answers and will do much to prepare you for the exam. In future editions, it would be more helpful if the layout team put questions and answers on separate pages.

This review is from: MCSE TCP/IP Exam Cram (Paperback)

This is my second book from Cram series and tell you this that I studied only this book and some brain dumps, that was it . I passed my exam yesterday with good point. The book covers almost everything which you might expect in the exam. I found the Review questions and explanation for each question at the very last chapters helpful. Guys if you wanna pass the TCP/IP this is the book.

This review is from: MCSE TCP/IP Exam Cram Adaptive Testing Edition: Exam: 70-059 (Paperback)

I want to say that I found this book to be extremely helpful. My knowledge going into this was at a very minimum, at best. I bought the book on a Saturday afternoon, took the test Tuesday and passed. It's organized so well. The sample questions are right on with those on the actual MCSE exams. What I like most was it's layout, easy to read. No big lengthy explanations that you get lost in the words over. To the point. Also, they not only explain why the answer is right, but why the wrong ones aren't right. Very helpful! I just bought another one of their books. Wish I'd have known about them for the first 4 exams! Try it, you'll like it!

This review is from: MCSE TCP/IP Exam Cram Adaptive Testing Edition: Exam: 70-059 (Paperback)

It is a wonderful book. This is the only thing that I use to present the exam 70-059 (without any exams practices as Transcenders) during two weeks and I obtained a score of 866. The practice exams of the book are as strong as the real exam. Fabulous.
