Summary: It only covers part of the information
Review: The author has some good test taking advise. He recommends studing. Some of the information is the book is irrelivent. Most of the other information is only coverded superficially. If you want a simple book about computer networking this book will be for you. If you want to be a Network Enginer and solve real problems and empliment real solutions then find a more throuough book. This book will not help with the test.

Summary: Very explanitory, didn't cover everything.
Review: The information covered was covered well. It did not cover ALL the information though, not by half. The CD test questions were horrible. The majority did not make ANY sense, or were unclear. I had to get EXAMCRAM to clear everything up.

Summary: not just answers, but details !
Review: The practice tests were really good. They ask the question and then rather just tell the one letter answer, the book instead provides details as to why the answer is what it is and details as to why the others are wrong.

Summary: Buy it for the test engine
Review: This book has a clear and concise explanation of the sevenlayer OSI model. It does not fill you up with arcane detail, ratherit includes only the essentials of The Essentials. The test engine (on the CD)has so many errors and mismatches (3 or 4 per 60 question test) that if you can consistently pass the tests you will pass the MicroSoft test. The question base for the test is too small. A good guide to passing the test, but learn the material too.

Summary: adequate for study

Summary: Clear, concise, & right to the point... great book
Review: This book is the third I've read in this series. The Enterprise book was excellent, the TCP/IP good, and the Net Essentials book is good also. The book does contain some minor errors that are easy to spot. I like the style and focus of the series. They don't get into details that will not be on the test... I'll use another book to learn more about the product down the road. Great series..... where's Exchange 5.5 and IIS 4.0 ?

Summary: Great book, almost enough to pass the tests.
Review: This book provided almost all of the info you need to pass the 70-058 net essentials test. The Net Essentials tests is the most challenging of the four tests I have taken, but I managed to pass it first time round. I used this book to get an understanding of the information and then the Microsoft Readiness Review to secure it. This book tought me what I needed to know in a logical, easy format. If you are familiar with this stuff, you can skip whatever you are confident with also.

Summary: Thrown together!
Review: This book seems to be thrown together in a hurry. In a sense, this book is written more for a person that is looking to get a certification instead of really understanding the material. The game which comes with the CD is worthless. I would stick to some of the more reputable guides. If the rest of the books in this series are anything like this one, I sure will not purchase any of them.

Summary: If i could give it 4 1/2 stars I would
Review: This is a great book for someone taking their first MCSE test. I only read this book and some online material and passed with a 866 (only studying for 2 weeks!). This books makes it easy to learn all the concepts that you need to know for the test, and doesn't fill your head with stuff you don't need to know.

Summary: Good book, bit short on info
Review: This was a good book, it covered most of the basic information needed to pass the Microsoft course, without going too deeply into specific subjects, which is a good and bad thing. I found i still couldn't do all the microsoft practise tests after reading this book, as it missed a few key areas covered in the Networking Essentials Exam. Its more of a study guide than a complete inside out tutorial of Networking Essentials. But i still recommend it!
