5.0 out of 5 stars Best Exam Prep Guide for MCTS: 70-632, September 22, 2008

This review is from: MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632): Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Perfect Paperback)
I used this book to prepare for the MCTS: 70-632 and passed it on my first try using this book and years of experience with Microsoft Project 2003 and recently Microsoft Project 2007. The practice exam on the CD was pretty good - there were about 5 questions out of 200 where I and even the other Microsoft Project 2007 did not agree with the author. If you are studying for the certification, go through every page, chapter test and the CD. Also, you will need to understand a lot Task Type and Effort Driven Scheduling (predict durations, work calculations and overall impact to your WBS), Resourcing Project Plans (forecasting time-phase generic skills, using resource pools.

I estimated about 50 percent was technical (using Project 2007) and 50 percent knowledge on Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool but...., December 11, 2008

Przemek (Warsaw, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632): Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Perfect Paperback)
This book is really great if want to get prepared for to the exam. I used it and passed the exam on my first try. The only problem that I exeperienced was that the real exam questions were different than in this book and in the training simulator that comes with the book. First of all there are 55 questions on the exam not 45. Secondly the questions are (or were for me) tougher than these in the book. It is better while preparing for the exam to combine this book with the other set of exam questions (i.e. IT Exams King - which Microsoft recommends on its web site).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best exam prep guides I have read, September 3, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-632): Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Perfect Paperback)
I have prepared for/taken/passed over 12 certification exams from Microsoft, Sun, and PMI, so I have read my share of exam guides. Having successfully passed this exam, I would comfortably rate this as one of the best out of all that I have read in terms of quality and accuracy.

The exercises and questions at the end of each chapter are extremely effective in helping you learn to use Project 2007. The software simulator (provided by MeasureUp) is quite good and runs very smoothly.

Overall: Highly recommended!
