Summary: Given only one chance to Revise? This IS the one to go for!!
Review: Agreed, this book does have a few grammatical as well as technical mistakes, but this should not put you off. As a testament to the brilliance of this books content and structure, I used this book to revise for a week, and passed the MCP NT Server AND Workstation within a day of each other!! I CANNOT cram!! Even if my life depended on it!! As accurately suggested by some other reviewers, you should not see this book as a one stop solution to exam success, what it is designed for is to consolidate and clearify the subject matter. It has the uncanny ability to highlight your weaknesses, but then offers you a seamless process of correction that cannot be beaten!! I gave it 4 stars ONLY because of the glaring sloppiness in the execution of the grammar and the more serious technical errors, but I believe Jay Adamson etal will prevail!!

Summary: A very good study guide for any of the 4 core exams!
Review: I have purchased various exam prep books and this was the most comprehensive.The 500 questions for the Server test were most educational and the 2 sample tests are a great review.I marked the questions I had difficulty with and thoroughly reviewed these before taking the exam.Of course you do need a text to accompany it so you can understand the concepts,but this book does prepare you very well for the exam.

Summary: Beware the *many* errors in this book
Review: If you are looking for a book to help you study for the MCSE core exams, this book is of dubious value. Being an MCSE certified on NT 3.51, I wanted something that would give me a quick review to pass the 4.0 tests. The organization of the book is good, but the many errors I encountered have led me to say that I would never recommend this book. I did not find many errors in the actual text of the book, but when it came to the sample tests, look out. Repeated questions, answers to questions that weren't asked, questions about material not covered in the text, questions about non-existent menus. After a while, it got to where I couldn't trust what the book was saying - not very valuable as a review tool.

Summary: This book got me through!
Review: If you are new to this field, this book has plenty of mistakes to mislead you. This is the first MCSE book that I read and I am reluctant to take any of MCSE exams then until I have a chance to read my friend's MOC books. The questions are not set on the area that is likely to be examined. A good chance to test your technical proofreading skills, suitable for students studying technical writing. Thanks the publisher and author, I spare one whole year for other parts of my life coz of them!

Summary: This book got me through!
Review: Read some of the other reviews here and yes - this text has got quite a few errors in it. That's inevitable in a book this size. Most importantly, the subject matter is covered well and enough questions are given to make your memory work - or at least that's the way questions help me in my study efforts. I bought the New Riders books before and there's nothing in them, (well very little), which isn't here. Worse still when I first started my MCSE 'endeavour', I paid £1500+ for a course by a certain large education company which came nowhere near the usability and quality of this book. If this sounds like I'm a fan - then YES I AM. My only regret is spending money on other study aids - because they weren't necessary. Congratulations QUE - you have a winner - but you need to spend a bit more time proof reading in the future. Keep it up. Mark Hodgkinson - MCP - CNA
