Folks, I hold MCSE+I and have completed all but one of the exams that this book details. Basically I found it outstanding value. It contains the 5 Sybex Exam Notes books in one volumne. I got it for £18 here in Ireland where normally each book costs about £22. As regards the content it is detailed enough to pass the exams when supplemented with practise exams and braindumps. I am currently studying for the SQL 7 Admin and using this books in conjunction with it's sister Test Success. The TS book is more exam orienated but this book fleshes out a number of sections nicely. I would give the book 5 stars but you DO need to supplement the book with the dumps in order to grasp the types of questions that M$ are asking. Best of luck to you guys.

I bought this book based soley on the fact it was only 15.99! This is my first look at any MCSE info, so I do not have much to base it on. I can tell you that after reading the Net Ess. section I found only a few typos. The self test at the end of the section only had 30 questions. I think for the money it is well worth buying, but it seems like you will need much more to study from. I am also getting the box set from Sybex.

First of all, you really can't beat the price. For less than twenty bucks, you can have all four exams reviewed. The key word is review. This book provides good solid introductory information. It is highly recommended you study from other more details books, expecially the Sybex study guides or any book written by Alan R. Carter. This book alone will not help you pass the exam unless you already have extensive hands on experience with the subject matter. All in all, an easy to read, and surprisingly humorous book for introductory students.

This is an excellent crammer for experienced MS IT pro's. It's not for beginners unless as a refresher post courses. I have been involved with MS since DOS 2.00 (should have bouight shares then!) and find the book covers the very broad range of topics succintly and in sufficient depth to get you ready for the final test cram sessions. Great value and portable!
