Summary: Perfect Book for Test Preparation
Review: I disagree with the previous reviewer. I have been in the IT field for less than a year and I used this book to prepare to take the exam. This book gave me only what I needed to pass the test. If I wanted to learn how to do each individual task I would have purchased a book to do so. But, the reason I purchased this book was only to pass the test.

Summary: Great Book and Series
Review: I purchased the Professional book one month ago.....I tested out after two weeks. I then bought the Pass-it Server book and tested after one week. The author isn't Charles Brooks but a guy call Dively. I'm on a roll. I have just purchased the Pass-it CCNA and I hope this author kept his same style. I just found out that there is a Windows 2000 Infra out by the same guy...I'll talk the CCNA first and then if I pass I'll see about that book. Keep up the good work Mr DIvely.

Summary: Good Last Minute Study Guide
Review: I purchased this book on Monday and tested out on Friday. This book had all the required subject areas to take the test the first time. I also purchased the 2000 Server book called PASS-IT. I studied the Server book for two weeks and also passed the test after the first try. I wish this author would keep them coming.

Summary: Not all that good.
Review: This book is really not good. I'm rather new to MS Administration, and was hoping to not only to prepare for the test 70-210 but also to learn some things. This book starts off very confusing and doesn't teach you anything at all. I only read thru maybe 100 pages and just gave up. Ok, maybe if you have experience and read other books on the subject this material would be somehow useful. But, I purchased Mark Minasi's "Mastering Windows 2000 Server" and don't see any reason for the existence of the PassIt series. If you want to learn something, buy other books. This one might point out things that are on the exam but they will not make you understand or know the material. By reading other books and practicing you have much better opportunities. I got 3 core exams out of the way so far by using Mark's book alone and some playing around.

Summary: Great Book For Final Test Prep
Review: This is my first MCSE test and this book was the only book I used. I do have 2 years as a Windows 2000 Administrator, but I'm not good at test taking. This author did a fine job condensing the book to a point that I could get my MCP in one try. This author has another book that I will try for 2000 Server that I just purchased today. I'll let you all know if he continued to help me in my quest.

Summary: For those who want to make sure they are ready.
Review: Windows 2000 Professional is fast becoming the OS of choice and with that Microsoft exam 70-210 seems to be the exam you'll need to master. I have found that books that only deal in the exam objective are helpful but you'll need other material to help fill in the gaps, this book is certainly a help but not as a stand alone choice. While the author has made sure every exam objective is covered, and filled the book with tips and tricks you still need to have some hands-on labs to aide in the learning process. Each chapter has review question at the end and scattered throughout the chapter is Exam Challenges, which I found to be helpful but again you need some equipment to try them out. Overall I found the book to be useful; also there is a cd with 2 exams of 75 questions each, 1 for the 70-210 and 1 for the 70-215 exams. I think that since this is a 70-210 book both exams should be for that and I am sure in the next update this can be fixed. The cd also contain over 500 other questions that can be unlocked for and additional $50.00, again I think this should be included with the book, however this is a minor fix. The unlock code can be purchased online and overall the book does its job.
