Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0  This exam guide is JUST RIGHT: 
Ever bought study guides or "Unleashed" type books and found them to just meander through topics, with lots of pages wasted on topics you know that YOU shouldn't be wasting your time on? Well, I have seen or bought far too many of them before buying this one from Amazon.com. Every page counted, and no space was wasted. I was extremely pleased with it's excellent organization, readability, balance, and, of course, content. Scored an 833, and the questions I missed were covered in the book -- I just, uh,... more info
a completely irresponsible publication: 
You'd expect a book that sells itself specifically as an exam prep book to present information accurately. Unfortunately, this book is so full of inaccuracies and missing information that it's hard to imagine anyone successfully passing the exam based on the information in this book. One example: chapter 2 mentions hashing, and explains that it's used on FAT partitions, but doesn't describe the hashing algorithm.

There is an Interactive Self Study Section which comes with the CD-ROM. The idea is good but it is not "Interactive" at all. You suppose to click a correct answer from the question and it will link you to the next one. However, I find it hard to believe that many times, I had been linked to some pages that have nothing to do with the questions itself at all. They should check it before published that book. I paid good money for a "good book", not a "lost in space" game. Hits most topics tested.:
This book does a good job of hitting most of the tested topics. However, like the Sybex guide, some objectives lack depth.Questions at end of chapters are not exam like, but do a good job of testing your understanding of each chapter. A good guide to estimate if your studying is working. Toss the CD... and use the net to get sample tests. Would buy it again. Similar to the Sybex study guide. (I've read both).
