4.0 out of 5 stars Good idea of what to know., July 7, 2002

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE Managing a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Network Environment Readiness Review; Exam 70-218 (MCSE Readiness Review) (Paperback)

This book gives you a good idea of what to look for on the exam. It shows you the basic format and concepts you will be tested on. Each section of the book gives a very general discription of the material and is not really worth the reading time before the practice questions. The exam software does a good job of simulating the real exam. It however does not give you immediate feedback on your answers like other expensive test software does. I think they should at least give you the option. You can go through it in one day and brush up on your "trivia."

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have known better, May 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE Managing a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Network Environment Readiness Review; Exam 70-218 (MCSE Readiness Review) (Paperback)

...than to trust MS to write a good book. I am an MCSE in NT and this is the last exam before I am MCSA in 2k; however my first experience with an MS book. I have always used Syngress or Exam Cram's and they worked fine. When you get a "review" book you expect it to be mostly reading touching up on the sensitive portions of an exam with a few questions at the end of each chapter. NOT this one, its nothing but practice questions. If thats what you are looking for fine. If you want to "review" the exam, buy something else and get your practice questions online like the rest of the world. The only reason I am giving it a 2 star, is that the CD included with it is useful and has simulated exams.

2.0 out of 5 stars This should be your last resource., November 18, 2002

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE Managing a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Network Environment Readiness Review; Exam 70-218 (MCSE Readiness Review) (Paperback)

This book definitely deals with the more difficult stuff that will be on the exam. However, it's mostly exam questions and only points you to other books to actually get the information you need on each topic (domain). Once you have read other resource materials, this should be used as proof to yourself that you are ready to write the exam. If you need more meat, then go for the full sized version which is 1152 pages, it pretty much has everything this book has, plus all the details you'll need.
