Rating:  Summary: Covers major topics Review: Passed yesterday with 917. I used Microsoft's Training Kit Book and this one. This book covers 75% of what's required for the exam while Microsoft's covers about 45%. Although this book has some silly mistakes, it covers some of the MAJOR aspects. Exam questions at the end of the chapters are nothing like the actual exam. Real beginners will need some accompanying material for learning basic controls etc. No book completely covers anything. As far as i think, this one is the best around.
Rating:  Summary: Don't waste your money Review: This book contained many errors, and the practice test that comes with it is very bad. I passed this test easily, but it was in spite of this book, not because of it.
Rating:  Summary: I take it all back and apologize to the author... Review: Every book I found on this exam was replete with errors. This book is no worse. The practice exams are pathetic but the book content is good and presents material in a way that can be recalled on exam day. You will need to visit the publisher's website and write in the text corrections (forget the practice exams though, they'll still be junk). The key here is to know that other exam materials from other sources are incorrect just as often. Based on this, you will need multiple resources (books and practice exams). You can consider 'determining which resource is accurate' as good exam practice.So STUDY this book cover to cover. Buy the Sylvan on-line practice tests (they're most accurate). Don't rush the process, take about a month. I did it this way and passed with a 914/1000.
