MCSE NT Workstation 4 Exam Prep (Exam: 70-073)

Rating:
Summary: Utter garbage!
Review: Not a bad layout, but the technical inaccuracies and wrong or mismatched answers to end-of-chapter questions make this book a frustration for students. Some of the problems include mention of non-existent control panel applets, confused and inaccurate explanations of Master Boot Records/partition boot sections, and more.

Summary: A piece of garbage for MCP exam prep
Review: This is one of the "junk book" I have ever read in my life. It is true that it gives everything you need to pass the exam, but almost 60% of the content are not covered (on the exam). Worse than that, the book doesn't even mention a word "exam tips" to emphasize what to be aware of when you are writing the exam. This book is inaccurate -- I found conflicts between the "exam prep" questions and the actual content of the book -- and it is extremely lengthy (616 pages in total and on average 30 pages / chapter). I personally belive that only the "Hands-on practice", "Case study" and the CD-ROM are parts that are useful only. If you really want to pass the exam, look for other resources such as Exam Cram (from the same publisher). This book should be named "NT Workstation 4, a reference guide" rather than "NT Workstation 4: Exam Prep".

Summary: Passed with just this!
Review: This was enough for me to pass with 830. It took me about 2 months. I cannot recommend it enough. It is designed for passing the exam and does not skirt around the subject. I wish I had got the network essentials one for the previous exam.
