Spend your time looking for errors
This book is full of errors. Questions that have nothing to do with the answers, grammar errors, spelling, incorrect answers,etc... (and English is not my native language!!!). But the text summary part was worth it. I passed the exams but spent to much time trying to figure out the right answers. Perhaps that is why I passed the exams :-) SHAME ON THE PUBLISHERS!!!

This book got me through!
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.

Given only one chance to Revise? This IS the one to go for!!
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!!
