How long does it take to complete the MCSE certification exams? How many tests are required? How do I get a better score? Find answers to these burning questions and more with the IIS 4.0: Accelerated MCSE Study Guide. Designed as a portable companion for those who've had formal, hands-on training, this guide explains the MCSE certification process in depth, prepares you for the test-taking experience, and gives you tips on maximizing your score. For example, readers are advised to focus carefully on scenario questions to decipher the best answer and not to spend too much time writing down memorized facts during the exam.
This book doesn't offer different flavors of test questions and outlines but rather includes a short list of review questions at the end of each chapter--a good feature for readers who are confidently absorbing the material. Unlike many other guides, this one is not organized according to the structure of the 70-087 exam. Instead, it uses its own topical breakdown: installation; management tools; the WWW, FTP, SMTP, and NNTP services; security; SSL; Index Server; and Site Server Express. Advanced issues such as Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and database connectivity are also addressed.
This compact book lacks a comprehensive test examination, and while it is a useful resource for quick reference and last-minute cramming, it's not an end-all training tool. --Stephen W. Plain
