3.0 out of 5 stars
Almost the best,
By
This review is from: MCSE Training Guide (70-240): Windows 2000 Accelerated Exam (Microsoft Certified Professional) (Hardcover)
This is the best book for Accelerated exam. But there are few things you should know. If you read the chapters you will notice that a lot of the relevant information to the tests on the CD are not covered in the chapters. The reason being, they are included on the CD in the chapter's folder In UDF format. Which means having to print each file in order to do the exercises and study for the tests unless you have two computers in the case of exercises. The tests on the CD are typical but plenty. But I wouldn't rely entirely on them. Some of the questions are repeated several times and few have errors. My biggest problem about the tests is that you cannot print them even though there is a print option. But all that does is a print screen and one page at a time. And that's ridiculous. Also there are no updates even though there is an update option. Maybe this is a price we pay for purchasing a first publication but then who's got time for the third. Printing capability by chapter or marked or wrong questions is an essential. If the publisher wish To release an incomplete product then they should at least give you the option to open the test file in a text format so that you can print them. I give it 5 stars for contents and 1 for the software.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Readable but many errors.,
By Dennis Ehlers (Tacoma, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCSE Training Guide (70-240): Windows 2000 Accelerated Exam (Microsoft Certified Professional) (Hardcover)
This book is much more readable than the Osborne title, but it has many errors in both the text and the end-of-chapter tests. (text ex. - They can't seem to make up their minds whether they want to use absolute hardware minimums or recommended minimums when giving you hardware requirements) Since I first read the four Core books by the same publisher, I could see where they cut-and-pasted a lot of text from them. The problem there is that they also copied over the same errors they had in the full texts. In addition, at least in the Active Directory section, the Case Studies they copied were out-of-context and didn't include all the data that had been in previous chapters in the full book.It WAS educational to track down the mistakes, though. Overall, I would call this effort a combination of knowledge gaps on the part of the authors and a very poor job of editing and proofreading.

Thorough - Sort Of,
By "suntide" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCSE Training Guide (70-240): Windows 2000 Accelerated Exam (Microsoft Certified Professional) (Hardcover)
I passed the accelerated exam with use of this book and a one-week crunch course to get the hands-on with Win2K. This book throws a ton of stuff at you. Much of it will be familiar to you if you are 4.0 certified. But much will also be very unclear until you see it on a screen. There are some areas that this book covers in terms that are too general, and I'm happy I had a knowledgeable instructor fill in those holes for me. And often the text rambles a bit. I also found it annoying that I had to go to the CD for many of the details - even though I understand this necessity; had the CD's extras all been included in the printed volume, this would likely be a 2000 page book.Exam Tips: If you know this stuff, this is not a hard test. But prepare to have your mental stamina tested by this monster.
