5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody awesome, May 12, 2006
By Ever Learning (TX United States) - See all my reviews
I took my test today and came close to maxing out, 972....study hard the reviews at the end of the book. When taking the test, read the questions AND answers carefully, kind of like the old school days, an answer may "look" right but it could be one word off. Keep the books, don't resell them, I've already gone back into 70-271 and reviewed a few things. handy to have on hand when you deal with it every day. Very thorough in my opinion. Just a humble IT geek working on his certs.....

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW Great deal and Super Helpful, May 8, 2006
I just took this certification and found out that some of test questions were the same as the back of this book. If you go through the test bank in the back of the book and go through the lessons your sure to pass. The book also comes with 180 day trials of xp pro sp2 and office 2003 professional. Not to meantion you get a voucher for 15% off the exam. I will warn you that some of the exam questions are very easy and others are super tricky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Updated to the Latest Version of the Test (70-272), December 4, 2005
The Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician test (Exam 70-272) has been modified and updated to incorporate the material needed to support Microsoft XP (with Service Pack 2) and Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003. This has resulted in this Second Edition of the Self Paced Training kit.

The book comes with two CD's that include all the software you will need to prepare for the test. This includes the operating system, and the Office suite of products in trial versions that are fully functional but time limited to give you the basic test platform to practice the points developed in the text.

The basic format of the text is to give you the information you need to understand to pass the test and a set of questions and answers to help you identify those areas that may need further study. Finally there is a 'Readiness Review' test on the CD as a final in-depth exam just before you take the actual test.
