4.0 out of 5 stars Good supplement, but not nearly enough for the 70-270 Exam, July 24, 2002

This review is from: Mike Meyers' MCSE Windows(R) XP Professional Certification Passport (Exam 70-270) (Paperback)

I like this book a lot, but you're kidding yourself if you think you can pass the exam with this book alone. I read the Windows XP Exam Prep, did the Learnkey CBT, read the Exam Cram AND this book. When I did a Transcender practice test, I failed with a 500 out of a possible 1000. Transcender gave me the ultimate reality check and let me know that I'm still not ready to take the test. I'm just going to keep working on my Transcender CD until I get it nailed. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, informative, yet not enough to cover entire exam., October 20, 2002

This review is from: Mike Meyers' MCSE Windows(R) XP Professional Certification Passport (Exam 70-270) (Paperback)

It would have been the best book if the author added about 100 pages with more information and more sample questions. Considering its size, neverthless, it's packed with all the valuable lessons along with which is more important than which. This book alone will not guarantee pass on the exam nor be sufficient. It might go very well with the book from Microsoft press which has most that can show up on the exam, but at the same time, it's somewhat boring to read and contains quite a few unnecessary lessons. However, you would know what to focus on after reading Mike Meyer's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well spent 20 bucks., July 26, 2002

This review is from: Mike Meyers' MCSE Windows(R) XP Professional Certification Passport (Exam 70-270) (Paperback)

I picked up this book because I had read the Mike Meyers book on A+ Certification, and found that book to be excellent as far as information, and it was also not at all boring to read. I can say that this book continues that trend, even improving upon it. I found this to be very informative as a test prep book, and it actually had me laughing in parts. Haven't seen many computer books reference Nigel Tufnel before. Oh, and I passed the exam on the first try.
