Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

You have to pass the Networking Essentials exam in order to become an MCSE. Chances are you understand computer networks pretty well if you've worked as any sort of computer professional during the past five or ten years. But how do you narrow your real-world knowledge down to the essential stuff you need to know to pass the exam?

You might opt to review for the Networking Essentials exam with MCSE Exam Cram: Networking Essentials. Rather than trying to teach you all the material that's on the exam, this book simply points out the areas in which you need to concentrate. It goes on to concisely explain each of these areas--network protocols and topologies, security, and the like--and then quizzes you using the exam's format. These quiz questions are the real attraction of this book and there are plenty of them in both the topic-specific section quizzes and in the general exam at the end of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome compact resource for the 70-58 exam!, April 21, 1999
This review is from: Networking Essentials Exam Cram (Paperback)
This book is a great example of how to write a study guide for an MCSE exam. I believe that out of the many Exam Cram titles I have used to date - this one covers the intended material the best. The language is just technical enough to be professional, yet not overwhelming. The diagrams and tables are very useful and as far as I have seen - error free. One word of caution - I do not recommend using this book alone to pass the exam. I also bought the Microsoft Press MCSE Core Exam pack which includes the Net Essentials course - the Net Essentials course can also be bought as a stand alone course. At any rate - two very good resources - and when combined with the Exam Cram Net Essentials book they make an unbeatable study combination. Net Ess Transcender exams are also a great addition - but I wouldn't use them as a crutch in lieu of hard study time or you'll be dissapointed! The Exam Cram and Microsoft books are no substitute for experience, but if you do not have much - they certainly do more than just help you on your way. To sum it up - EXCELLENT BOOK! Passed on first try! Would not take the test without this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book to supplement a study guide, February 25, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Networking Essentials Exam Cram (Paperback)
This is a good book to use in addition to other books (study guides). I read this book cover to cover first, then read the Windows NT Workstation 4 book by Dennis Maione ISBN #1-56205-918-1, then I read it agian. I took the test I was done in a half hour and passed with a 866! YMMV ;)

Would recommend highly, but is it " The first and last book you need to read", a little puffery there, you do need *more*, good luck, I did it, you can too.
