I used this book to study for the test and passed it. The chapters are broken down great. The review questions are very good and almost exactly what you will find on the test.

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE Windows XP Professional Study Guide (70-270), 3rd Ed. (Paperback)

This is an excellent text for the 70-270 exam. I originally bought the Microsoft XP Professional training kit (written by Microsoft)and getting through it resembled eating an Elephant. I bought this study guide by Sybex and it was much easier to study and understand. It is written, organized, and presented very well. The questions and information on the CD mapped very well with the questions on the 70-270 exam. The nice part is that I passed the exam easily.

This review is from: MCSA/MCSE Windows XP Professional Study Guide (70-270), 3rd Ed. (Paperback)

This book is broken down nicely and tailored very well to the 70-270 exam. I have used numerous textbooks and study material in my quest to obtain my various certifications, but this one was definitely the best. It is well organized and easy to read. The chapter end questions are decent and resemble those on the actual exam.
