Only text I actually had time to read... Scored 879
I passed the Networking Essentials Exam with a score of 879. I only had 2 weeks to study for the test. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs to pass the test in a hurry. I used this book as my only study guide. I already had a good understanding of Networking concepts, but this book was excellent for getting my frame of mind in tune with the test. I just bought a ton of MCSE TEST for Success books to complete my MCSE. I have 3 test down, 3 to go. See ya in 6 weeks!

This book had lots of simulated exam questions
While it did have lots of exam simulated questions (which you NEED). This book did not TEACH the concepts very well. However, the questions on the actual test are in the form of "adaptive testing" (which means that the questions change depending on the responce of previous questions) and there is no way to simulate that. The BEST way to prepare, once you think you've learned the concepts, is to get questions asked. The toughest questions were those of the "scenario" based, not the ones that would ask you "how many netbios name characters are available for use for your naming scheme?"

In addition to those they WILL ask you how to set up an optimum netbios naming scheme. This book covers both types of questions but to answer those scenarios questions the best thing to really understand those concepts and also to have some experience. To understand the concepts, I like the book from the QUE publishers called: "Networking essentials" and the author was Dan York. the microsoft book was pretty lame in explaination and had a LOT of errors in it. My advice: buy this book and buy the QUE book. The QUE books ISBN number is:780789711939. Yes the QUE book is expensive but you'll need it to learn the concepts. Use this book and the QUE book, study your brains out. Don't bother taking the certified courses (useless, save your money)and don't bother with the microsoft books, they will only confuse you with errors (my god they were awful).
