Summary: Best MCSE Prep Book!
Review: As Director of Technical Education for a university, I am always on the look-out for books that can be texts or supplements. I have found the best one available right now in Glenn Weadock's "MCSE Win '98" book!! I have recommended it for our upcoming course.

Good work, Glenn, in filtering through all the techno-speak and getting to the REAL issues!!!

Summary: Good MCSE book
Review: Good book. Very few errors. I read this and used the MS Windows 98 Resource Kit(On the MS Windows 98 CD) as refrence and passed the test first try. The book doesn't cover everything, but along with the Win 98 Res Kit it is all you need and the only book you will have to *buy*.

Summary: Almost enough.
Review: I being a fan of Dummies certifications books, I pick one up for every certification I am going to pursue. I don't just buy the Dummies books though. I buy at least two others. When I see something odd in one I consult the other two, and two out of three wins. The only problem I have with this book is the CD, there are no simulations exam questions on it. Oh, by the way I received a 960 on this test.

Summary: Just great
Review: I heard about the MCP exams and wanted to do one. I was most familiar with Win 98. The stuff you need to know for the exam is not covered in normal 98 books. I decided to buy this book because of it's positive reviews. I did not know much about networking or the other exam stuff. This book will show you 90% percent of what you need to know. I also used the MS readiness review and the resource kit that comes with the 98 CD. If you do not know much about it start with this one. I passed with a score of 800.

Review: I tried quite a few study aids to prepare myself for the MCSE Testing and can say without a doubt that the best I have found are the -For Dummies approved study guides. Glenn does an excellent job of getting you the facts you need to pass this test without the confusion caused by many of the other books available on the market. Keep up the good work!

Summary: Clears the Fog
Review: Like many of you I am self taught. I purchased the Microsoft training manuals, test questions as well as many other books. I found the manuals and the Win98 Resourse kit neccessary but also very technical and confusing at times. The dummy book cleared the fog. I found the test questions to be much like the real exam. Beware though, the test has simulations that the Dummies book does not go into in enough detail for the test questions. Also suggest taking Transcenders. With out this book I would not have passed.

Summary: Good book for preparing for the exam
Review: This book is excellent for passing the windows 98 exam. It does have some mistakes and misses steps when setting up policies on a Netware network with Windows 98 workstations. Used a lot of different books to prepare for the exam (Ziff-Davis certication book, Readiness Review, Exam Cram, and others)and I found this book and Transender to be all I needed to pass the exam. Hands on experience is also helpful.
