Summary: Networking Essentials Exam Cram Well Worth the Money!
Review: As a supplement to other study materials, Networking Essentials Exam Cram was a great resource in studying for exam 70-058. I don't think I would have passed the test without studying this book. The information is condensed but the high points are stressed. Important details related to the test are explained very well. This book is a great way to reinforce the overwhelming volume of material contained in the larger study manuals available for the test.

Summary: They mean what they say - the first and last book to read.
Review: I found this book to be invaluable. Having some experience in a networking environment already, I did not want to read through a huge thick book. This covered most of what was on the test in a very precise and succint manner. Use it the way it is intended, to help you past the test. When they say it is the first and last book you need to read to pass this test, don't forget the stuff in between! The method that worked for me was to read this book first, then take practice tests from it and Microsoft's site. Then, anything I had any doubts about or missed a question on, I researched in another thicker book (in my case, one by New Riders). That's how I feel those other books need to be used, more as a resource than teaching material. I then took more practice tests and scanned through the exam cram book again, and passed with flying colors, without feeling like I 'cheated' and only know enough to pass a test, without the real world knowledge.

Review: I just passed the Network Essentials Exam with the help of this wonderful study resource. I also used the Microsoft Official Curriculum and this book did alot to clarify some of the material. A super resource! Use it!

Summary: Passed Networking Essentials 1st Time! Great Practice Tests
Review: The practice exam questions throughout the book are worth every penny you spend on this book! The Exam Cram is like a Cliff Notes for the test, so I do recomment getting Microsoft's Networking Essentials Self-Paced Training for Supporting Local and Wide Area Networks, as well as Transcenders Netcert exam. With these three combinations, you can't go wrong. In fact, you will pass your first time out. As I said, the Exam Cram is like Cliff Notes, so you will def. want to do other reading. Their glossary is excellent! And they also have a cram sheet in the front of the book! Look over it before taking the exam...it helps!

Summary: Awesome compact resource for the 70-58 exam!
Review: This book is a great example of how to write a study guide for an MCSE exam. I believe that out of the many Exam Cram titles I have used to date - this one covers the intended material the best. The language is just technical enough to be professional, yet not overwhelming. The diagrams and tables are very useful and as far as I have seen - error free. One word of caution - I do not recommend using this book alone to pass the exam. I also bought the Microsoft Press MCSE Core Exam pack which includes the Net Essentials course - the Net Essentials course can also be bought as a stand alone course. At any rate - two very good resources - and when combined with the Exam Cram Net Essentials book they make an unbeatable study combination. Net Ess Transcender exams are also a great addition - but I wouldn't use them as a crutch in lieu of hard study time or you'll be dissapointed! The Exam Cram and Microsoft books are no substitute for experience, but if you do not have much - they certainly do more than just help you on your way. To sum it up - EXCELLENT BOOK! Passed on first try! Would not take the test without this book!

Summary: A good book to supplement a study guide
Review: This is a good book to use in addition to other books (study guides). I read this book cover to cover first, then read the Windows NT Workstation 4 book by Dennis Maione ISBN #1-56205-918-1, then I read it agian. I took the test I was done in a half hour and passed with a 866! YMMV ;) Would recommend highly, but is it " The first and last book you need to read", a little puffery there, you do need *more*, good luck, I did it, you can too.
