MCSE Windows 2000 Server LabSim (Exam: 70-215)

Summary: Passed Accelerated Exam thanks to this product!
Review: I don't have access to a Windows 2000 home network and the IT know-it-alls at work won't let us help-desk guys touch ANYTHING so this was my only opportunity to get some hands-on experience. I passed the exam thanks to this product (along with Sybex Study Guides, Exam Cram, and Transcender) and I'm sure that I wouldn't have without it. Not everyone can afford to drop a couple thou on a home network or classes at an ATEC and this is an affordable way to get comfortable with the product. I watched the demonstrations at least twice and did all the simulations anywhere from three to four times. It's really pretty cool and when you do the simulation right, it lets you know and when you do it incorrectly, it lets you know where and why. First-rate product - my compliments to Exam Cram and Test Out!

Summary: Deserves LESS than Zero Stars....
Review: Please, please, please, do not waste either your time or your money on this product. Over 90% of the product contains demonstrations that you watch which leaves about 10% simulations. You will not EVER be able to pass any Microsoft exam using this product.... WARNING - there is a substantial amount of material which is repeated verbatim amongst each of the four discs in this series (Professional, Server, Network, and Directory). You need actual hands-on experience to pass the exam and ...under no circumstances will this product give you the experience necessary to pass the exam.

Summary: Worth Its Weight In Gold
Review: Quite simply an outstanding aid - unless, of course, you have W2K Server and a network to fool around with/experiment on. No you likely won't pass the exam using *just* this, and yes more labs would be nice, but, all in all it's a great resource wisely used in conjunction with other books/braindumps/et al. (Doubly valuable if you purchase it used - here/half.com). A+ Network+ MCP CCNA
