3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't cover nearly enough, March 12, 2009

By	M. Horwath (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book had a ton of information, but was missing quite a bit dealing with the items that were listed on the test.

As the test has a 'copyright' in place, I can't go into massive amounts of detail, but I will state that 10% of the test I took (8 questions) on VCB. The test is 75 questions. The book did not cover a single aspect covering any of the questions listed for VCB knowledge. That was a surprise for me.

As someone who took the authorized VMware training and I have 4 years experience with ESX, I figured a summary book would be a great reference point to refresh my knowledge before taking the test.

This book only refreshed a small amount of the data I required.

Yes, it was somewhat helpful, which is why it is 3 stars, but in reality, I am disappointed with the breadth of knowledge covered in the book. I had been hoping for more. Exactly what, I don't know.

4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book, but you will need more to pass the exam, May 17, 2009

By	Alan Brandhofer (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I encourage you to get this book if you are preparing for the VCP exam. It will cover about 80% of the topics, but it is not all inclusive, be clear on that. I suggest you print out the exam blueprint (http://mylearn.vmware.com/lcms/mL_faq/1714/VCP3.5Blueprint.PDF) and check off what this book covers, and the seek out material on the gap. The 150 question practive exam that comes with the book is very helpful on assessing where you are.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this. To much info is missing or incomplete, May 30, 2009

By	Jan Dye - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book and studied from it and was consistently getting 96% to 97% on the practice test. I failed the test with a 50%. There were many questions about topics that were not covered in the material. I am so disappointed. This was a goal on my performance review at work, so now my raise is in jeopardy. What a crappy product. The author should be ashamed.
