Best bang for the buck
Yes there are errors in the books and errors/bugs in the tests. But this set still gives you all the information necessary to pass the four core tests. I'm a programmer and have setup a NT box or two but I'm by no means a NT system admin. These books filled in the gaps in my knowledge and enabled me to pass all four tests the first time using no other study or training materials. The proof is in the pudding.Most of the errors are in the sample questions, both printed and electronic. The fact that I noticed the errors was due in large part to the fact that the authors did such a good and accurate job explaining the material in the chapter body that when I came upon a buggy question I knew it was an error and just went on to the next question. Life isn't perfect, deal with it.
I would give this set a "10" if all the errors were fixed.

If you think MCSEcertification is too hard- read these books
I read early reviews that indicated that the Exam Cram books were poorly written (too many errors). However, the set I ordered from Amazon.com in Aug 98 was well edited and I didn't have to visit the Coriolis website for any errata updates. What I can say is that I passed all four core exams on my first attempt. These books have provided the results I'm interested in. They saved me time and money and have given me confidence to know that I will soon acheive my MCSE goals. Based on my successful experiences with the MCSE Core-Four Exam Cram Pack, I will also be using the MCSE Exam Cram Electives-Four Pack to complete my certification. I've had only limited hands-on experience and it's very satisfying to realize just how much can be learned in such a short period of time with a moderate amount of effort. I highly recommend these books.

Exam Cram Core and Proxy / TCP-IP
If you cannot pass the test with these books as your guide/resource, then you are one of the 70% that Microsoft does *NOT* want as an MCSE! These books are direct and to the point for *ANYONE* with limited knowledge of networking Microsoft products. I passed 6 tests within 6 weeks, thats 1 test per week with these books as my guide to further my education of MS products. Paper MCSE's need not apply!
